Tire pressure warning system - New Products - from Goodyear, Siemens VDO - Brief Article

Automotive Industries, April, 2002

Goodyear and Siemens VDO have developed a new software package for tire low-pressure warning systems. The display now delivers a convenience or a warning message. Carrying extra weight in the vehicle or sustained driving at high speeds can trigger the convenience message. It "suggests" that the driver add more air at the next stop.

The warning message indicates a critical condition and gives a calculated number of miles that can be safely traveled before the condition is fixed. Goodyear--www.goodyear.com Siemens -- www.usa.siemensvdo.com
