How do you check the tire pressure on a Honda Accord?
I have a Honda Accord, and I think the tires are looking a little low. Do I have to check the tire pressure manually or is there some sort of electrical system on the dashboard?

Tire pressure is a good thing to check if you notice a change in your tires or driving performance. Your Honda Accord is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) which will alert you when your tire pressure is low—but it won’t tell you exactly what your tire pressure is. You’ll need a
standard pressure gauge
to do that manually.The TPMS warning light may be a yellow symbol portraying a cutaway tire and an exclamation point. On the other hand, newer Honda models may show a warning message instead that will tell you your tire pressure is low.
To check your tire pressure, pull over to a safe space, remove the valve caps on each of your tires, and press a pressure gauge to the valve stem. You should hear a hissing sound and get a reading within a moment or so.
If needed, you can use an air pump to fill the tire to the specified level. This level should be listed on a label on the inside of the driver’s side door jam.
Some Hondas also have a Tire Fill Assist feature—if so, you should leave the vehicle on while checking your tire pressure. The feature will beep and flash your car’s lights when the proper pressure is reached. If you don’t have this feature, you can simply use the tire gauge to confirm your tires are full.
Either way, your TPMS warning light should automatically turn off once your tires are at the appropriate pressure. Keep in mind that you may have to drive around for a few miles before the light goes away.
