Tyre pressure monitoring

The tyre pressure monitoring system visualises the frequent slow loss of pressure in tyres before damage can occur. This continuous monitoring of the pressure helps to prevent about 99 % of all tyre damage.

Function and operation

With TPM every wheel is equipped with a pressure sensor. These sensors determine the momentary tyre pressure via the tyre valve and transmit the pressure values by radio to the control unit, which is fixed to the frame. These values are then displayed in the main instrument via the CAN bus. A check lamp also comes on if the pressure falls below the minimum permissible value.
