Part: Checks and maintenance

The following video tutorial will show us the steps to check the tire pressure on a car before starting a journey.

It is important to remember that the measurement should always be done when the tires are cold, and it is considered correct if it is 2.45 bar. If we measure the tire pressure after driving, it will rise to 2.75 bar because the air inside heats up and expands, increasing the pressure.
