To check tire air pressure at a gas station, follow these steps: 1. Use a tire pressure gauge. 2. Park your vehicle near the air pump. 3. Find the recommended pressure for your tires. 4. Remove valve caps. 5. Use the air pump to adjust tire pressure. 6. Replace valve caps. 7. Repeat for each tire. Check regularly for safety and efficiency.
If the pressure is low, proceed to inflate the tire. Attach the air hose to the valve stem and engage the compressor. Monitor the air pressure using the gauge as you inflate. Stop when the PSI reaches the optimal level. Finally, replace the valve cap securely to prevent air loss.
Following these steps ensures your tires are inflated to optimal PSI, which enhances safety and fuel efficiency. Next, we’ll explore the importance of maintaining proper tire pressure regularly and how it impacts overall vehicle performance.
