Wanted to make a joke about fancy young cars, but apparently automatic tire pressure systems have been around since the 80's, and apparently it's mandatory in the EU since 2014?
Never saw it in a car myself, but the youngest car I ever drove is I think my dad's from 2010 or something.
Yeah, but this is the system based on the rotations per meters. Which sucks as it's not that accurate and only warns you when it's already very low on air pressure.
The accurate one's are veeeery expensive.
You mean it guesses how much pressure is lost based on actual rotations of the tire? So a leaky valve or something will not be found?
Yeah, you "set" it when you filled it. Then it knows the rotations to look for. And if it is off by a lot, it warns you.
I've no idea what you're talking about. I don't set anything, when I add air to the tire the dash monitor reflects it immediately.
Edit: spelling
You guys, I have a hunch that perhaps there are different designs. ๐ค
