10. A TPM system comprising:
-
a pressure sensor configured for detecting the pressure of a tire of a vehicle; and a central unit for displaying the pressure detected from the pressure sensor or a result derived from the pressure detected from the pressure sensor, wherein the pressure sensor is activated by a fluctuation of the pressure of the tire in order to output the pressure detected from the pressure sensor.

11. A TPM system comprising:
a pressure sensor configured for detecting the pressure of a tire of a vehicle; and
a central unit configured for displaying the pressure detected from the pressure sensor or a result derived from the pressure detected from the pressure sensor, wherein the central unit has at least one interface configured for outputting the result and/or the pressure and/or a desired pressure to an external device.- View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A method for adjusting the pressure in a tire of a vehicle comprising the steps of:
-
reading a desired pressure of the tire out from a data memory of the vehicle; transmitting the desired pressure to a control means of a compressed gas source; transmitting an actual pressure of the tire detected by a tire sensor to the control means; and acting upon the tire with compressed gas from the compressed gas source or with atmospheric pressure until the actual pressure has reached the desired pressure. - View Dependent Claims (15)
