How do I check tire pressure on a Hyundai Santa Fe?

I’m the proud owner of a Hyundai Santa Fe. Up until recently, it’s been great. But now it’s pulling to the left when I drive. I think I just need to fill the tires, but I’ve never done it before. What do I do to check tire pressure on a Santa Fe?

If your Hyundai Santa Fe is a 2007 or newer model, you should see a tire pressure monitor light on your dashboard denoted by a tire with an exclamation point in the middle. If you see this, you probably need to check your tire pressure.
Here’s how to do it:
  1. Check the door jamb on the driver’s side or the owner’s manual to find the right tire pressure. In most cases, it’s between 33 and 35 psi.
  2. Locate the valve stem and unscrew it.
  3. Push the tire gauge against the valve stem to get a psi reading.
  4. This will let you know whether you need to add or remove air from the tire.
  5. If you need air, use an air compressor. You can either buy one or go to a gas station to add air.
  6. If you need to remove air, press the backside of the tire gauge against the valve stem. If done correctly, you should hear air leaving the tire.
  7. Do the same for all of your tires.
Checking your tires is something you should do regularly as part of your
basic maintenance schedule
. This can help you make sure that your car is in tip-top shape.
