What does tire pressure monitoring mean?
2 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring refers to the direct display of the current tire pressure, which belongs to the active tire pressure monitoring. The working principle of tire pressure monitoring is: an internal sensor is installed on the tire hub, which includes a bridge-type electronic pressure sensing device that senses air pressure, converting the air pressure signal into an electrical signal, and then transmitting the signal through a wireless transmitter. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Preventing accidents; 2. Extending the service life of tires; 3. Reducing wear and tear on the suspension system. Tire pressure monitoring automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time during vehicle operation and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety.
I've been driving for over twenty years and find tire pressure monitoring systems incredibly practical. It's a built-in system in the car that constantly monitors the air pressure in the tires. If the pressure gets too low or too high, it triggers a warning light on the dashboard, sometimes accompanied by a beeping sound to prompt immediate action. For example, during long summer trips, tires can overheat and cause pressure to rise – with this system, you can pull over and adjust in time. Not only does it prevent blowouts and ensure driving safety, but it also helps save fuel since properly inflated tires have less friction. Additionally, it promotes even tire wear, significantly extending their lifespan. Nowadays, most new cars come equipped with this feature, which is user-friendly and requires minimal daily management. I highly recommend all car owners familiarize themselves with its operation.
