Abstract
A method for monitoring the pressure of motor vehicle tires is provided. In the method, a tire pressure value of the filling pressure and a tire temperature value are determined. While taking into account the tire temperature values, the determined tire pressure value is compared with a stored nominal value and the comparison result is used to determine whether the motor vehicle tire is at an incorrect tire pressure, in particulars, a low tire pressure. If the tire pressure is incorrect, when a characteristic change in the tire pressure occurs, the stored nominal value is replaced by a new nominal value, and the comparison result is used to determine the new nominal value of the determined tire pressure value.

15. A method for monitoring the pressure of motor vehicle tires,
comprising the acts of: -
determining a tire pressure value indicative of a tire filling pressure;
comparing the determined tire pressure value with a stored nominal value; and
determining whether a motor vehicle tire is at an incorrect tire pressure, based upon a result of the comparison;
wherein when the tire pressure changes in a manner characteristic of a filling process, the stored nominal value is replaced by a new nominal value, with the determined tire pressure value being used to determine the new nominal value. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
