About Tire Pressure
When you first install the app, it will ask you to specify the correct tire pressure. Check the
vehicle owner’s manual to find the correct air pressure for your specific tires. For new cars, the
air pressure should also be listed on the tire placard attached to the driver’s side door jamb. In
older cars, the tire pressure is usually on the rear edge of the passenger door, glove box door,
fuel door, trunk lid, or center console lid.
The following chart lists some standard vehicle tire pressures and upper and lower limits of of
+/- 20%.
Max PSI
(+20%) 36 37.2 38.4 39.6 40.8 42
PSI 30 31 32 33 34 35
Min PSI

Install the Tire Sensors
To install the tire sensors:
1. Unscrew the valve cap on the tire infl ation stem.
2. Screw the locking nut on to the tire infl ation stem. (Optional: The locking nuts prevent
the sensors from being removed without the included hex wrench.)
3. Screw the sensor on to the top of its corresponding tire infl ation stem. Each sensor has
an identifi cation label (LF, LR, RF, RR) that corresponds to a specifi c tire.
LF: left front RF: right front
LR: left rear RR: right rear
4. Use the wrench to tighten the locking nut up against the sensor.
5. Check for air leaks. Fill a spray bottle with soapy water and spray the area. If there is a
leak, air bubbles will escape.
6. Repeat this procedure for the remaining three tires.
