How to Check Your Tyre Pressure

Tyre pressure can affect your car’s handling and fuel efficiency. So it needs to be right. This is how to check it:

First, make sure your handbrake’s on and the ignition’s off.
Give the tyres around three hours to cool. It gives a more accurate reading.
Inside your door frame, a chart shows the correct tyre pressures: they’re marked in PSI and BAR.
Get yourself a tyre pressure gauge. There are manual and digital ones.
Unscrew the dust caps on your tyres. And keep them somewhere safe!
Press the gauge onto the valve and you’ll hear a little hiss of air.
The number shows the pressure.
TOP TIP: Tyres at the wrong pressure will wear out faster. They’re also less safe. So check them regularly.
Got a spare tyre?
Then it’s worth checking that, too.
Finally, don’t forget to screw all your dust caps back on.

For further information, please see your owner's manual or local Ford dealership.
