Correct answer

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

It is advisable to check your vehicle's tyre pressure once or twice a month, always with the tyres cold. This means the tyres should not have been used recently or driven a long distance before the check. The main reason for checking the pressure with the tyres cold is to get more accurate and reliable readings, because the pressure rises when the tyres heat up with use.
