1.1 System Description
The Tire Safety System (TSS) controls and monitors tire pressures.
The system comprises the following components:
B6 System:
• 1 TSS control unit
• 4 sets of wheel electronics including valve
• 1 digital antenna
C6 System, Low Line variant: C6 System, High Line variant:
• 1 TSS control unit 1 TSS control unit
• 4 sets of wheel electronics including valve 4 sets of wheel electronics

• 1 digital antenna 1 digital antenna
4 trigger transmitters
The system's primary function is to monitor tire pressure during travel.
An electronic mechanism mounted inside the tire measures tire pressure and temperature at
regular intervals and transfers the values telemetrically via a HF transmission line to a
reception antenna. In the receiver antenna, the radio data telegram is decoded and
transferred to the control unit as a digital signal. The control unit evaluates the received data
and forwards the information to the driver as required. This provides the driver with
information on the necessary tire pressure or tire tension adjustments.
The C6 High Line System also offers a bi-directional communication with the wheel
electronics (trigger function).
The benefits offered by the tire pressure control system are:
• Safety
An early warning signal is triggered on sudden pressure loss.
“Blow-outs” caused by excessive flexing and then driving on inadequate tire pressure
are avoided.
The driver is prompted to adjust the tire pressure where necessary.
• Comfort
Tire handing is made simple. Using filling equipment at the fuel station and removing
the valve cap is necessary only for correcting the tire pressure.
• New tire developments
