Patent Images
1. A tire pressure control arrangement for a motor vehicle, the arrangement comprising:
- means for monitoring the air pressure in at least one pneumatic tire of said motor vehicle;
means for outputting a signal when the air pressure in said at least one pneumatic tire drops below a lower threshold value or exceeds an upper threshold value;
an air suspension system including means for determining the laden state of said motor vehicle; and
, means for automatically setting at least one of said threshold values in dependence upon said laden state of said motor vehicle.

Abstract
A tire pressure control arrangement for a motor vehicle monitors the air pressure of at least one pneumatic tire and a signal is outputted from the arrangement when, in at least one tire of the motor vehicle, the air pressure drops below a lower threshold value or exceeds an upper threshold value. The lower and/or upper threshold value(s) are set in dependence upon the laden state of the motor vehicle. The laden state is determined with the aid of an air suspension system and the setting takes place automatically with the aid of the determined laden state.
