Does the Bora have tire pressure monitoring?
1 Answers
The Bora comes with tire pressure monitoring as a standard feature, which is a very practical configuration. Currently, there are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems used in vehicles: active and indirect, with significant differences between them. The active tire pressure monitoring system, abbreviated as PSB, is more expensive but offers better performance. The passive tire pressure monitoring system, abbreviated as WSB, also known as indirect tire pressure monitoring, is comparatively less precise and more cost-effective. Below is an introduction to tire pressure monitoring: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a technology that can automatically monitor various conditions of the tires in real-time by recording the rotational speed of the tires or through electronic sensors installed inside the tires, providing effective safety assurance for driving. 2. TPMS can be divided into two types: one is the indirect TPMS, which determines tire abnormalities by detecting differences in tire rotational speeds; the other is the direct TPMS, which involves installing four tire pressure monitoring sensors inside the tires to automatically monitor tire pressure and temperature in real-time, whether the vehicle is stationary or moving. It also provides timely alerts for high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature in the tires, helping to prevent traffic accidents caused by tire failures and ensuring driving safety. 3. Direct systems can offer more advanced features, such as measuring the actual instantaneous pressure inside each tire at any time, making it easy to identify a faulty tire. Indirect systems are relatively cheaper to manufacture, and vehicles already equipped with 4-wheel ABS (with one wheel speed sensor per tire) only require a software upgrade.
