Abstract: An assistance method for adjusting the pressure of a tire mounted on a wheel of a motor vehicle having an electronic module adapted to transmit, to an on-board central unit in the vehicle, signals including data representing the pressure of the associated tire, this assistance method includes, in the first place, during an action of adjusting the pressure of a tire, determining, after receiving a number n of initial measurement signals, where n≧2, the gradient or slope Cd of the straight line representing the variation of the measured value Pm(t) of the pressure as a function of time. Next, on receiving each subsequent measurement signal, the remaining time required to obtain the setpoint pressure Pc is deduced from the ratio |Pc-Pm(t)|/Cd, and, on the expiry of this remaining time, initiating a procedure for managing the cessation of the pressure adjustment, and signaling the end of the adjustment.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a powertrain, body, component, tire, lighting device, sensor, and controller. The lighting device is positioned with respect to the body or component, which is connected to the body, and illuminates in response to an output signal in a manner corresponding to a status of the vehicle. The sensor determines the status. The controller executes a method to receive, from a remote device, a proximity signal indicative of an operator of the vehicle being within range of the vehicle, and receives an input signal from the sensor indicative of the status of the vehicle. The status includes an ignition status and/or a low tire pressure status. The controller transmits the output signal to the lighting device in response to both the received input signal and the proximity signal to command illumination of the lighting device to thereby display the status of the vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus for displaying the state of the tire pressure for a vehicle tire of a truck trailer includes a lamp to optically display the tire pressure state. An arm is provided with the lamp arranged thereon. A mount fixes the arm to the truck trailer and the arm is made substantially of an elastomer material so as to cause the arm to be flexibly deformable when colliding with a foreign object. The arm reverts back to its initial configuration after such a collision as a result of its elastic material characteristic.

Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring system which is linked to the control unit or other control device of a vehicle which limits the operation, or completely disables the operation of, the vehicle when the pressure in one or more of the tires of the vehicle is insufficient. The operation of the vehicle may be limited so as to completely disable the operation of the engine, transmission, or a combination of both. The rotational speed of the engine may be limited, or the operation of the transmission may be limited. A combination of limitations may be placed on both the engine and transmission, to prohibit the vehicle from being operated at unsafe speeds due to the tire pressure in one or more of the tires being at an undesirable level.

Abstract: A temperature indicator includes at least one reactive substance and at least one dye substance. The at least one reactive substance has a threshold temperature and the at least one dye substance has at least one characteristic peak in its absorption or emission spectrum. When an excess temperature is reached in the tire, the at least one reactive substance is heated above the threshold temperature and reacts with the at least one dye substance so as to modify the at least one characteristic peak. A related pneumatic tire includes at least one such temperature indicator.
