Correct answer
- CNo quitar aire de los neumáticos ya que se han calentado y generan más presión.Not let air out of the tyres, because they have warmed up and the pressure is higher.
Explanation
As you drive, the tyres warm up and the pressure of the air inside them rises, which is normal. You must not let air out: when they cool down, the pressure goes back to its normal value and they would be underinflated. Pressure must always be checked with the tyres cold.
