Hella's TC-400 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) constantly relays your tire pressure and temperature readings. The fully active radio-controlled system meets or exceeds all OE systems such as those fitted out on premium luxury cars; it is a great add on particularly for those sensitive and vulnerable lower profile tires.
A consistently correct tire pressure will avoid that unnecessary fuel consumption and prolong your tire wear. It will also improve the traction control over dangerous aquaplaning, handling enhancement on most daily driving situation needs and most importantly for better effective braking. The necessary pressure checking takes time and effort which without the TPMS a constant monitoring when driving can be an irritating feeling. With the Hella TC400 TPMS you will be no longer have to stop the vehicle to check the pressure, going from one tire to another, very convenient while moving simply at a push of a button any time, furthermore the TC400 is FMVSS 138 compliant as well.
This highly recommended product is easy to install and comes with reprogramming features for tire rotation purposes, yet sensor valves fitment should have been left for the professionals at the nearest Tire Shop to each wheel installation. Advanced high-tech sensors replace the ordinary tire valves which enable to transmit pressure (either in PSI or Bar units) and temperature read out (Fahrenheit or Celsius) by means of radio wave to the central unit for cockpit style display. The system can provide of up to total of 7 potential sensor reading outs for those additionally spare or trailer tires monitoring purpose (within a 32 foot range from control unit). Though the kit contains everything required for 4 wheels whereby each sensor is labelled as LF, LR, RF, RR.
The background color of the display can be adjusted to any of seven different colors to match the existing vehicle instrument lighting: blue, red, green, orange, light orange, white, or light blue with capability to relay any emergency data such as tire blow out or sudden pressure loss (3 PSI or .2 Bar drops within 1 minute) and overheat.
