To check tire pressure in the 2018 Sorento, use the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) from the information mode on the instrument cluster. Pressure readings appear 1 to 2 minutes after you start driving. If the vehicle is stopped, you will see a “Drive to display” message until you begin moving.
You can monitor your tire pressure via your vehicle’s onboard display if equipped. Access the settings menu through the dashboard controls. Look for the “Tire Pressure” option to view real-time figures for each tire. If your vehicle lacks this feature, use a reliable tire pressure gauge.
Check tire pressure when tires are cold for accurate readings. Inflate tires as necessary to reach the manufacturer’s recommended pressure levels. Adequate tire pressure improves vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and overall handling.
Regular monitoring is crucial for maintaining optimal performance. A flat or over-inflated tire can lead to serious issues.
