How do I check tire pressure on a Kia Optima from 2019?

I have a 2019 Kia Optima—it’s awesome! However, I’ve recently run into a situation where it pulls quite hard to the right. I think the tire might be underinflated or something, so I’d like to check it. How do I do it?

The 2019 Kia Optima has a tire pressure monitor that lets you know if one of your tires is over or underinflated. Just look for a light with a tire and an exclamation point on the dashboard. If you see this, your tire pressure is out of whack. To check the tire pressure on a 2019 Kia Optima, just follow these instructions:
  1. The correct tire pressure on the Kia Optima is 34 PSI. You can always find this inside the door jamb on the tire pressure placard if you forget.
  2. Find the valve stem on the first tire—it doesn’t matter which one—and unscrew it.
  3. Push a tire gauge against the stem to get a solid reading.
  4. Once you have this rating, you should either add air through a compressor or remove air using the backside of the tire gauge until you reach 34 PSI.
  5. Do the same for all the tires.
Hopefully, nothing is wrong with your alignment or your tires, but if that becomes an issue, you can always lower your
