How to find the proper kPa or psi for your Ford vehicle
There are two different ways to know that your tires are properly inflated: you can do a manual check or use your TPMS. We have information on both below. If you need new tires, check out our online tire shop or visit us at Sherwood Ford in Sherwood Park, AB.
Finding the correct tire pressure for your vehicle
To find the tire kPA or psi, use the Door Jamb Label on your vehicle, located inside the driver’s side door jamb. The label will give you information on what to fill your tires too. If you can’t find the label, our technicians can help you out the next time you visit Sherwood Ford.
How to manually check your Ford car’s tires
In order to do a manual check, you’ll need a tire pressure gauge, which is a small instrument you can store in your vehicle when you’re not using it. These gauges should come with instructions, but the basics are easy. Just follow these four easy steps.
- Unscrew the cap on your tire’s air valve.
- Firmly press the tire pressure gauge over your tire’s air valve.
- Read the tire pressure gauge.
- Repeat on every vehicle tire, as the pressure can vary from tire to tire.
