It is extremely important that your tires maintain proper pressure for a number of reasons. For this reason, you should check tire pressure at least once every 30 days. Depending on the reading you get, it may be advisable to bring your vehicle in to your local Mazda dealer to ensure that there is no leak to worry about.
How to Check the Tire Pressure on Your Mazda
The most important step takes place before you even test your vehicle’s tire pressure. You need to wait until your tires are cold. If you want to check your tire pressure at work, give your tires at least three hours to cool off. If you haven’t driven your car in at least three hours, you can proceed to the next step.
The second step to checking your tire’s pressure is to remove the air valve cap from your tire. When you take it off, put it in a place where you will be able to easily find it again. The third step is to press the tire pressure gauge against the open valve stem for a little while. This shouldn’t take more than a few seconds. Finally, you need to read the air pressure gauge and compare the reading to the tire’s recommended pressure.
What Pressure Should My Tires Be at?
Your tire’s recommended pressure is located on a sticker on your driver’s side door, and in your manual.
Will a Technician at My Local Mazda Dealer Check Tire Pressure for Me?
Yes, you can take your Mazda in to your local dealer to have your tire pressure checked by a certified Mazda technician. If you have a tire pressure gauge at home and want to take the pressure of your tires yourself, you may need to bring your vehicle in for maintenance depending on the results you get. It is vital that you have your tires checked out if at least one of your tires is leaking air consistently. It may need to be patched or replaced.
To check the tire pressure on your Mazda, you first need to ask yourself if your tires are cold. If they are, remove the air valve cap from the tire, hold the tire pressure gauge up to the valve stem and wait a couple of seconds. Then, read the gauge and compare the reading to the tire’s recommended pressure. If you notice that your tire is leaking air, schedule an appointment as soon as possible at Mazda City of Orange Park.
