How to check the tire pressure on a Toyota Corolla 2003/2008

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 2 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we will see how to check the tire pressure on a Toyota Corolla 2003/2008. We will find the sticker with the reference pressures on the driver's door pillar. In this video, the pressures are indicated in PSI (pounds per square inch): the equivalence is 1 PSI = 0.068 Bar (which is the measurement used in the EU). The pressure should be measured on cold tires with a tire pressure gauge, which can be digital or analog: we remove the valve cap, take the gauge, firmly press the nozzle onto the valve, and we will hear a slight hiss: we read the value and repeat for all four tires. If necessary, we adjust the pressure with a portable compressor as shown in the video, inserting the compressor nozzle into the cigarette lighter and starting the car. We connect the valve and start the compressor. We inflate in short intervals, not relying too much on the built-in gauge in the portable compressor (which is often not very accurate). Once the desired pressure is reached, we put the valve cap back on and repeat with the other tires.
