I need to put air in one of the tyres for my Zafira ( only been driving since November ) I dont have a clue how to use the little machine in the garages.
I was told to read the manual for my car, which I have done, and I am now more confused than before I read it.
Can someone tell me what psi is for this car ? I have added a photo of the numbers from the manual.
I have circled the tyre pressures for you If you have 3 passengers in then its 32psi each wheel and if fully loaded its the other reading 37 front 43.5 rear

Also, check how your tyres are wearing. If they are wearing faster in the middle of the tread, decrese the pressure, if they are wearing faster on the edges, increase the pressure.
Check them every month - if the wear is even, keep the same pressure, but if you notice the above with regards to the wear, adjust the pressure by a couple of psi and monitor
The pressure written on the sidewall of the tyre is the Max Cold pressure the tyre will take, and will usually be much much higher than what the car manufacture will recommend

yes, and if you inflate them to that pressure, you'll get a very harsh ride indeed. There's no substitute, for ordinary road use, for the car maker's numbers.
