How do you check the tire pressure in a 2020 Honda Civic?

My dad says I should check my 2020 Civic’s tire pressure before heading out on a long road trip. How do I do that?

All you need to check your 2020 Honda Civic’s tire pressure is a simple tire pressure gauge, an inexpensive tool that can be found at any auto supply shop. Most modern cars have tire pressure monitoring systems that will alert you if a tire’s pressure is low, but it never hurts to double-check, especially before a long trip.
First, you’ll want to check your owner’s manual, door jamb sticker, and/or the inside of your fuel tank cover for information regarding what your Civic’s tire pressure should be.
Then, remove the valve cap from your tire(s) and place your tire pressure gauge over the valve stem. You should hear a hissing sound and, within seconds, your pressure gauge will display a reading of your current tire pressure.
If necessary, you can then add or remove air from your tire to reach the required pressure. Check all four tires, as they can wear down unevenly.
Remember that a change in tire pressure doesn’t always mean your tire is damaged! For example, a sudden change in outdoor temperature can sometimes cause a slight decrease or increase in pressure. However, if you’re noticing that your tire is deflating quickly and significantly, you might have a puncture or be experiencing some other sort of tire damage.
It is, indeed, a good idea to check your tire pressure before going on long road trips. It’s also a good idea to check that your
