How to use the tire inflation devices available at gas stations

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

Video tutorial

In this video we will see how to use the tire inflation devices that are found at gas stations: first of all, we check the tire pressure recommended by the manufacturer, which is located on the door jamb on the driver's side. On this plate, the pressures can be expressed in Kpa (kilopascal, universal measurement), in PSI (pounds per square inch, measurement used in Anglo-Saxon countries) or in Bar, a measurement used in the European Union.

Now we go to the air pump and set the desired pressure: at the end of the hose we have a connector that we will attach to the tire valve. Remove the dust cap and attach the connector while holding down the side button: when it reaches the set pressure, we hear a confirmation sound.

Remove the valve and the job is done. Put the dust cap back on and repeat for the other tires.

Once finished, reattach the hose to its place and that's it.
