Correct answer

  • BUna o dos veces al mes, siempre con los neumáticos fríos.Once or twice a month, always with the tyres cold.
Explanation

It is advisable to check the tyre pressure with the tyres cold, because the pressure can rise when the tyres heat up with use, which can give a wrong reading. This advice is in line with good vehicle maintenance practice and helps you drive safely and efficiently. There are rules on vehicle safety and maintenance that show how important the condition of the tyres is, as reflected in the General Traffic Regulations.
