Show answer
Correct answer
- CNo hacer nada.Do nothing.

It is normal for the pressure to rise after a long journey, because the air in the tyres heats up. You should not let air out or cool them with water: the pressure must be checked and adjusted with the tyres cold, when it returns to its real value.
