Tire pressure monitoring system
First Claim
1. A tire pressure monitoring system for a vehicle comprising one air pressure sensor for each vehicle wheel, each air pressure sensor being connected to a control unit with an optical and/or acoustic output unit, wherein each air pressure sensor is associated with each respective vehicle wheel such that a measuring value produced by the air pressure sensor together with a wheel-related coding (C) is transmitted to the control unit, and the wheel-related coding (C) is arranged to be visible on the respective vehicle wheel, wherein an input unit is provided to receive user input associating the wheel-related coding (C, C′
- ) with respective vehicle wheel position in memory of said control unit.
