Staying on top of basic car maintenance is a great way to catch minor issues before they become big (or expensive) problems! Before you check the tire pressure on your 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander, make sure you know the appropriate PSI (pounds per square inch). You can find this information inside your owner’s manual, on the sticker inside your driver’s side door jamb, or online.

Next, put your vehicle in park and turn the ignition off. Remove your valve caps, and use a pressure gauge to take a reading from each tire. If any of your tires are low, you can use a gas station air pump to fill it up again for just a few dollars.

In general, it’s a good idea to check your tire pressure about once a month, but you should also check it any time your tire pressure light comes on or after a temperature drop of more than 10 degrees.
