the tire pressure monitoring system
One System – Many Advantages
Easy
Peace of Mind
ContiPressureCheckTM is quick, easy and economical to
install. Mounting inside the tire guarantees greater data
accuracy than comparable systems. ContiPressureCheckTM
is compatible with all commercial tires.
Tire damage and breakdowns increase the possibility of
roadway accidents, for both truck operators and motorists.
Proper air pressure helps reduce risk factors.
Economical
For every 10 PSI of underinflation, you‘ll spend approximately
1% more on fuel and experience faster tread wear.
Driving with the correct air pressure can lead to
significant fuel savings and longer tire life, lowering your
overall driving costs.
Reliable
The ContiPressureCheckTM system helps avoid tire
related breakdowns which can lead to costly downtimes,
late fines, possible damage to public image and loss of
sales or profits.
Eco-friendly
Correct inflation pressure helps reduce rolling resistance
- accounting for almost 35% of average fuel consumption.
Better fuel economy is one of the simplest ways to reduce
carbon emissions.
Continuous Monitoring - Direct to the Driver
PR E S S U R E
ContiPressureCheckTM is a direct measurement
system mounted inside the tire. If the inflation
pressure drops, then the tire is subject to
greater strain as it rolls. The resulting heat
build-up can damage the tire or even lead to a
blowout. To prevent this, ContiPressureCheckTM
uses a sensor inside the tire to continuously
monitor the air pressure and tire temperature.

2 Receiver (ECU)
The ContiPressureCheckTM system immediately
detects any changes in air pressure or tem­perature.
The sensor inside the tire sends the data
wirelessly to the central receiver (electronic
control unit – ECU). This proces­ses the data,
saves warnings and sends them directly to
the display in the driver’s cab. The driver can
immediately take corrective action and avoid
a breakdown before it happens.

Engineered to the Smallest Detail
The ContiPressureCheck Sensor
TM
ContiPressureCheckTM integrates sensors, a
communication system and processing into a
single module that is contained inside a
rubber container and glued to the inner
surface of the tire. The advantage of this
system over sensors placed outside the tire is
that it avoids measurement errors due to
brake heating.
ContiPressureCheckTM is quick and easy to
install and is robust and reliable. It is an inexpensive
solution for automatically measuring tire in­flation
pressure and it pays for itself the first time it
prevents a tire breakdown. And that’s without
even taking any follow-on costs such as late
fines, damage to public image or loss of sales
or profits into consideration. So, the worst that can
happen is not to have ContiPressureCheckTM on
board.
A sensor in a rubber container is attached inside
the tire and is compatible with all tire. makes.
