How do you check the tire pressure on a 2019 Kia Sportage?

One of my tires looks lower than all the rest. This is the only car I’ve owned, and I’ve never dealt with tire problems before. How do you check the tire pressure on a 2019 Kia Sportage?

Visibly low tires can definitely be worry-inducing—luckily, it’s pretty easy to check a tire’s pressure to see where it’s actually at. There are two main ways you can check the tire pressure on your 2019
Kia Sportage
:
  • Use your 2019 Kia Sportage’s tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
  • Check its tire pressure with a
    tire pressure gauge
Your 2019 Kia Sportage TPMS comes equipped with an indicator light that should turn on to tell you when your tire pressure is too low, as well as when it detects a problem in the TPMS system. Your vehicle’s LCD display will also tell you the pressure of each individual tire. You can also adjust what tire pressure unit it displays by entering your user settings—your owner’s manual will lay out the steps for you.
If you’ve never used a tire pressure gauge, they’re generally quite straightforward. All you need to do is unscrew the valve stem cap on your tire, then press the tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem to get your reading. Depending on the gauge, your 2019 Kia Sportage’s tire pressure might display digitally, or you might read it on a marked bar that emerges from the gauge. Once you have your reading, you can add or remove air from your tires as needed.
Even though your 2019 Sportage has its own TPMS, it’s still ideal to regularly check your vehicle’s tire pressure with an actual tire pressure gauge, just in case the system were to unexpectedly stop working.
