How do you check the tire pressure on a Ford Fusion?

Lately, it feels like there is no air in my tires—literally. How do I check the tire pressure on my Ford Fusion?

If you have a newer Ford Fusion, it will be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which electronically checks your tire pressure and alerts you if something is awry.

However, if your TPMS isn’t working, or you just want to check your tire pressure by hand, you can use a simple gauge. In a safe place (such as your driveway or a gas station parking lot), remove the valve cap on each of your tires and press the pressure gauge onto the valve stem. This should quickly provide a reading.

You can determine what your tire pressure should be by checking your owner’s manual, the sticker on your door jam, or the sticker behind your gas cover door.

Try to check your tire pressure on a regular basis—at least monthly, as well as after every long road trip.

How many cylinders are in a Kia Seltos?

So my next-door neighbor’s parents moved in after downsizing. My friend’s dad is a tinkerer, but he broke both hands fixing the chandelier above their dining room table. His Kia’s got an engine issue, and his son told him I’m an engineer and good with my hands, so his pop has been hounding me ever since. My friend didn’t tell his father I’m a computer engineer. Good thing I’m up for the challenge. How many cylinders are in a 2022 Kia Seltos engine?
