Abstract

A display system for the internal tire pressure of tires of a vehicle. In order to display of pressure values for the driver so that the driver receives easily perceivable information concerning the internal tire pressure and its deviation, the driver receives an indication of the deviation between the actual internal tire pressure and the desired internal tire pressure.

Claims

1. A system for monitoring internal tire pressure (Pist) of at least one tire of a vehicle, said system comprising:

at least one sensor for provide the actual internal tire pressure (Pist);

a memory including a desired internal tire pressure (Psoll);

a difference forming device for forming the difference (DP) between the actual internal tire pressure (Pist) and the desired internal tire pressure (Psoll); and

a display device for displaying a value of the difference (DP).

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said at least one sensor is provided for measuring the temperature (Tist) in one of said at least one tire and a computing device is provided for the compensation of the desired internal tire pressure (Psoll) as a function of the temperature (Tist) before the transmission to the difference forming device.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the desired internal tire pressures (Psoll) for different tire and operating parameters are stored in said memory, and said display device further displays the tire and operating parameters, and a selection device is provided for the selection of the tire and operating parameters.

4. The system according to claim 3, wherein said memory includes free memory locations.

5. A tire pressure compensation system, comprising:

at least one pressure sensor for providing an internal tire pressure signal;

at least one temperature sensor for provides an internal tire temperature signal;

calibrating means for modifying said internal tire pressure signal as a function of said tire temperature signal and outputting a modified signal.

6. The system according to claim 5 further including:

a memory for storing a desired internal tire pressure;

a different forming device for forming the difference between said desired internal tire pressure and a value of said modified signal; and

a display device for displaying said difference.

7. The system according to claim 5, wherein the desired internal tire pressures (Psoll) for different tire and operating parameters are stored in said memory, and said display device further displays the tire and operating parameters, and a selection device is provided for the selection of the tire and operating parameters.
