How does the tire pressure monitoring system work in Volkswagen vehicles?
1 Answers
Volkswagen's tire pressure monitoring principle utilizes data transmitted by the ABS system sensors to monitor the rotational speed of each wheel and changes in their rolling circumference. Below are the relevant details: 1. If the rolling circumference of any wheel changes, the warning light will illuminate. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting drivers to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. 2. When tire pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, while the pressure borne by the tire increases relatively, affecting the tire's grip. 3. Additionally, when the vehicle passes over potholes or bumpy roads, insufficient space inside the tire to absorb vibrations not only impacts driving stability and ride comfort but also increases the impact on the suspension system, posing further risks. Moreover, the potential for tire blowouts in high temperatures also increases accordingly.
