According to this, the subject is inflating car tires because this is the topic the text covers.
Besides this, it is expected that if someone follows the steps he or she will inflate tires appropriately and will keep an ideal pressure in the tires, which is supported by details such as "release the excess air until your tires are inflated at the correct pressure" that shows the author wants to make sure the reader checks the pressure, and verify this is appropriate all the time.
