17. at  least three hours  When you drive  your tires get warmer  causing the air pressure within them to increase  Therefore   to get an accurate tire pressure reading  you must measure tire pressure when the tires are cold or compensate for the  extra pressure in warm tires     1 5 4  Steps for Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure    Step 1  Locate the recommended tire pressure on the vehicle s tire information placard  certification label  or in the  owner s manual     Step 2  Record the tire pressure of all tires     Step 3  If the tire pressure is too high in any of the tires  slowly release air by gently pressing on the tire valve stem  with the edge of your tire gauge until you get to the correct pressure     Step 4  If the tire pressure is too low  note the difference between the measured tire pressure and the correct tire  pressure  These  missing  pounds of pressure are what you will need to add     Step 5  At a service station  add the missing pounds of air pressure to each tire that is underinflated     Step 6  Check all the tires to make sure they have the same air pressure  except in cases in which the front and rear  tires are supposed to have different amounts of pressure      If you have been driving your vehicle and think that a tire is underinflated  fill it to the recommended cold inflation  pressure indicated on your vehicle s tire information placard or certification label  While your tire may still be slightly  underinflated due to the extra pounds of pressure
