Where is the tire pressure monitoring located on the Mercedes-Benz GLC300?
1 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring on the Mercedes-Benz GLC300 can be viewed on the vehicle's dashboard. The GLC's factory-installed tire pressure monitoring system is an indirect type. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Intelligent Tire Monitoring Systems: These systems combine the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, while an indirect system covers all four wheels. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid approach reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as a direct system does.
