Where is the tire pressure monitoring on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class?
1 Answers
The tire pressure monitor for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is displayed on the multifunction display, with sensors installed inside all four tires. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver to any 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 differences in rotational speed between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert 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, along with a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only direct systems, this hybrid approach reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires, as direct systems do.
