Tyre Pressure Check

Proper tyre pressure is crucial to your vehicle's handling performance and driving safety. Both under-inflated and over-inflated tyres can lead to considerable trouble if not corrected immediately.

The best way to find out the ideal level for your vehicle's tyre pressure is to check your owner's manual. Additionally, you can check the driver's side door sticker, which should also include this information.
