Correct answer

  • APeriódicamente y con los neumáticos fríos.Regularly and with the tyres cold.

Tyre pressure must be checked regularly, every 15 days to a month at most, and with the tyres cold. If we do it with the tyres hot, the pressure gauge will give a wrong reading, higher than the real one.
