Tire condition advisory system with optimum, advisory and warning states

摘要

A display and a controller are used to implement a tire pressure optimization system for a vehicle. The controller is programmed to receive inflation pressure information indicative of a vehicle tire's inflation pressure, and identify an operating state of the vehicle as being in an optimum state when the inflation pressure information indicates optimum performance, in a warning state when the inflation pressure information indicates the inflation pressure is beyond a warning pressure threshold, or in an advisory state when the inflation pressure information indicates an undesirable performance characteristic outside of the warning state and the optimum state. The controller is programmed to operate the display to output an optimum state indication when the operating state is in the optimum state, a warning indication when the operating state is in the warning state, and an advisory indication when the operating state is in the advisory state.

1. A tire pressure optimization system for a vehicle, comprising:
a display; and a controller in communication with the display, the controller programmed to:
receive inflation pressure information indicative of a vehicle tire's inflation pressure,identify an operating state of the vehicle as being:
in an optimum state when the inflation pressure information indicates the inflation pressure is within an optimum pressure range, the optimum pressure range indicative of one or more optimum performance characteristics,in a warning state when the inflation pressure information indicates the inflation pressure is above a warning high pressure threshold or below a warning low pressure threshold, orin an advisory state when the inflation pressure information indicates the inflation pressure is within an advisory pressure range, the advisory pressure range indicative of an undesirable performance characteristic and outside of the warning state and the optimum state, andoperate the display to output:
an optimum state indication when the operating state is in the optimum state, the optimum state indication including a description of at least one of the one or more optimum performance characteristics,a warning indication when the operating state is in the warning state, andan advisory indication when the operating state is in the advisory state.
