I think my car’s tire pressure might be off but I haven’t seen a light go on. How do I check the tire pressure on a Volkswagen Tiguan?

If one or more of your tires is low on air, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor warning light will come on. However, you can check your tire pressure manually if you’re not sure if your TPMS system is working.
All you need is a tire pressure gauge, your vehicle’s owner’s manual, and an air compressor which can be found at most gas stations. To start, check the owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended psi. Then, unscrew the air valve cap and press your gauge to get a reading of each tire’s current psi.
If the psi in each of your tires is fine, but your TPMS light is still on, take your Volkswagen into your dealership as soon as possible to have the system expertly checked out.
