HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure your tires are cool. Tire pressure should ideally be checked before driving or after the vehicle has been stationary for at least three hours.
2. Remove Valve Cap: Unscrew the valve cap from the tire stem. Keep it in a safe place.
3. Attach Gauge: Press the SmartTip of the Bell Automotive Digital Tire Gauge firmly and squarely onto the tire valve stem. You should hear a slight hiss of air as the gauge makes a seal.
4. Read Pressure: Hold the gauge steady until the digital display shows a stable reading. The lighted gauge display will illuminate for easy viewing.
5. Note Reading: Compare the displayed pressure to your vehicle’s recommended tire pressure (found in your owner’s manual or on a sticker inside the driver’s side door jamb).
6. Measure Tread (Optional): Extend the built-in tread gauge pin. Insert the pin into the deepest groove of your tire tread, avoiding the wear bars. Push the gauge down until the base is flush with the tread. Read the tread depth from the gauge.
7. Remove Gauge and Replace Cap: Pull the gauge straight off the valve stem. Screw the valve cap back onto the tire stem tightly to prevent leaks.
8. Repeat for All Tires: Check all four tires, and don’t forget the spare if applicable. The gauge features an auto shut-off to conserve battery life after a period of inactivity.
