use a tire pressure gauge (if you have one) or go to the gas station and use theirs (i dunno how accurate it will be) find the tire that's low and fill it with air... 32psi it should be all around

Dont let an asian drive your car.. EVAR. They will mess your car up and cause butt symbols to come up on your dash




It's not a check engine light. Its your tire pressure light

you should check your tire pressure when all the tires are cold though, otherwise you will get an inaccurate reading.

Think of it just like that. The answer then becomes obvious.

It's not the dealer's responsibility to air up your tires, just as it is not the dealer's responsibility to fuel your car when it has no gas.
