The air inside a tire condenses in colder weather, taking up less space and lowering tire pressure. The Consumer Reports website notes that tire pressure will drop 1 psi for every 10 degree drop ...
A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).
A typical direct TPMS (e.g. Ford, [4] BMW [5] or Toyota [6]) comprises the following components on a vehicle: A direct TPM sensor fitted to the back of the valve stem on each wheel; A TPM Warning Light; Unique identifier (IDs) for which tire is providing the data including speed and the direction of rotation; A tire pressure monitor electronic ...
Fuel consumption for the CT 200h is listed at 4.1 L/100 km (57.4 mpg ‑US) in Australia. [17] The CT 200h chassis is based on the Toyota MC platform, which is the same platform used by the Corolla and the Matrix. [18] The Lexus CT 200h features a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear double wishbone design. [19]
Models equipped with automatically activated systems include the 2014 BMW i3 (option not available in the US), 2012 model year Toyota Camry Hybrid, 2012 Lexus CT200h, all EV versions of the Honda Fit, and all Prius family cars recently introduced in the United States, including the standard 2012 model year Prius, the Toyota Prius v, Prius c and ...
The first vehicle to debut VDIM outside Japan, the Lexus GS (2005–present) Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is an integrated vehicle handling and software control system developed by Toyota.
Take for example a vehicle which had its cold inflation tire pressure set near Denver (altitude 5300 feet), and is descending towards Los Angeles (altitude 300 feet). The tires could become underinflated by as much as 2.5 psi. Cold inflation pressure should therefore be readjusted after any significant changes in altitude.
