First Claim
Patent Images
1. A motor vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor configured to determine a temperature associated with a portion of a tire of the motor vehicle;
a control unit in communication with the sensor;
a storage device in communication with the control unit;
a display device in communication with the control unit configured to display information received from the sensor;
an input device in communication with the control unit, wherein the input device is configured to receive a temperature measurement request and is configured to send a temperature measurement request to the control unit; and
wherein information related to the temperature of the tire is retrieved from the sensor when the control unit receives the temperature measurement request.

Abstract
A system and method for a tire temperature measurement system is disclosed. An instantaneous temperature value of a tire may be requested through an input device. At the time of a temperature measurement request a control unit may retrieve tire temperature from a sensor and determine an instantaneous temperature value of a tire. The instantaneous temperature value of a tire may be displayed, stored and transmitted to a remote device.
