Every 2019 Ford Escape is equipped with an electric tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) which can be used to check your tire pressure without getting your hands dirty.
Your TPMS system will illuminate if one or more of your tires is under or over-inflated. Keep in mind that your tire pressure needs to be considerably off for this system to work.
If you want to check for yourself or if the monitoring system isn’t working, just do it the old-fashioned way by removing each tire’s valve stem cap and pushing a tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem. This will provide a reading, telling you whether you need to add or remove air. You can perform a tire pressure test at home or at a gas station that has an air-filling station.
Do your best to check your tire pressure monthly, as well as after any long road trips.
