TYREPROBE


1	Can TyreProbe TPMS be used in all vehicles?
	The current model of TyreProbe has been designed for passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks. We are currently working on the development of a TPM System for two/three wheelers and commercial vehicles.

2	I have a vehicle running on Tube Tyres. Can I install TyreProbe TPMS on my vehicle?
	No, the current model of TyreProbe TPMS can be installed only on vehicles running on tubeless tyres.

3	How does TyreProbe TPMS reduce fuel consumption?
	The rolling resistance of tyres plays a significant role in determining the fuel efficiency of a vehicle. As tyres reach the range of under inflation, the internal friction of the rubber compound increases, resulting in a rise in rolling resistance. This has a direct impact on reducing fuel efficiency. Using TyreProbe TPMS, the driver is able to maintain optimum tyre pressures on all tyres at all times. This ensures that tyres operate at optimum conditions keeping rolling resistance to a minimum. This means less fuel burned for the same distance traveled. Incidentally, less fuel burned also means fewer pollutants in the air!

4	How does TyreProbe TPMS function as a Safety Device?
	Studies have shown that tyre under inflation is the single largest contributor, directly or indirectly to tyre failures. Tyres with a sustained history of under-inflation degrade faster and are not only prone to punctures, but even worse, to tyre blowouts. At high speeds, tyre blowouts can cause catastrophic loss of control of the vehicle and can even lead to loss of life and limb. TyreProbe TPMS monitors the health of tyres on a real time basis in terms of tyre pressure and temperature and warns the driver of abnormalities and points to the tyre that is affected. The driver is hence empowered to significantly reduce the probability of tyre failures and hence increase safety.

5	Why is TyreProbe TPMS a value proposition?
	TyreProbe TPMS is probably one of only few aftermarket car accessories that will give its owner a return on investment. A purchase of TyreProbe TPMS can ensure Safety, improved Fuel Efficiency, increased tyre Life all at once resulting in an average pay back time of less than a year on cars that are frequently driven. In addition to the above, the device can bring to an end, situations where a car is left stranded on account of a flat tyre.

6	I have two different cars whose recommended tyre pressure levels are different. Can TyreProbe TPMS be customized to suit the tyre specifications of a particular car?
	Yes, TyreProbe has programmable upper, lower tyre pressure and upper tyre temperature warning levels. These warning thresholds can be set based on the standards tyre pressure placard fitted by the car manufacturer either in the driver door sill or on the fuel filler flap of a particular vehicle.

7	Since TyreProbe TPMS is a wireless device, would the readings in my vehicle be affected if a vehicle with a similar device drove next to my car?
	Just as a Remote Keyless Entry system of one car cannot open the doors of another car, TyreProbe's tyre sensors have a unique encrypted identifier that can be recognized only by its own dashboard receiver. This prevents the system from picking up signals from the tyre sensors of another car.

8	To ensure uniform tyre usage and wear, I rotate my tyres on a regular basis. How will this affect the function of TyreProbe?
	Since TyreProbe identifies tyre location based on the unique tyre sensor identifier, when the tyres are rotated, the system has to be reset as per instructions in the user manual. TyreProbe has 3 standard tyre rotation modes and 2 random tyre rotation modes programmed into the dashboard receiver. To save time, it is recommended, that the tyres are rotated as per the standard 3 modes indicated in the user manual. This would then involve a simple reset of the system by choosing the appropriate tyre rotation mode. In case the tyres are randomly rotated, the system would have to be reset by a sequence of tyre deflations and reinflations, for the system to identify individual sensors and allocate them to a particular tyre. Detailed instructions are provided in the User Manual.

9	Can the tyre sensors get damaged in case I have a tyre burst or in case my tyres are completely deflated?
	TyreProbe will in most cases warn you well in advance of a tyre puncture and prevent tyres from fully deflating. Should a situation arise where tyres are fully deflated, TyreProbe's sensors are positioned behind the tyre valve inside the wheel rim at an appropriate position that prevents sensor damage. The tyre sensors are electronic systems and should nevertheless be handled with care. We recommend that tyre and vehicle service technicians are always made aware of the presence of sensors inside the tyre so that the tyres and wheel rims may be handled with appropriate care to prevent any damage to them on account of wrong usage of tyre repair equipment

10	Can I replace only one sensor in the event of a sensor failure on only one tyre?
	Yes, only one sensor can be replaced in the unlikely event of a sensor failure. To install the new sensor, the detailed instructions in the user manual would have to be followed. The operation would not take more than 20 mins.

11	What is the installation time required to fit TyreProbe on my car?
	Due to its wireless technology, integrating the system into a car is a simple 45 minute operation with the assistance of a trained tyre technician and tubeless tyre changing equipment.

12	Where can I get the TPMS fitted?
	In any tyre shop equipped with tyre changer and wheel balancing equipment.

13	What is the warranty period ?
	One year from the date of purchase. You should have the purchase invoice as proof of purchase.
