The concept
The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the infla-
tion pressures in the four tires as you drive. The
system provides an alert whenever the inflation
pressure drops significantly in relation to the
pressure in another tire.
When a loss of pressure occurs, the rolling
radius changes and with it, the rotational speed
of the wheels. This change is detected and sig-
naled as a flat tire.
