Abstract:
1. A method for assisting with non-critical inflation of tires for a vehicle fitted with a set of tire pressure sensors, a set of tire temperature sensors, and a microprocessor, the method comprising: supplying the microprocessor with pressure data relating to a pressure of at least one of the tires of the vehicle, the pressure data being measured by at least one of the tire pressure sensors; supplying the microprocessor with temperature data relating to a temperature of at least one of the tires of the vehicle, the temperature data being measured by at least one of the tire temperature sensors; with aid of the microprocessor supplied with the pressure data and the temperature data, notifying a user of a possible non-critical under-inflation condition present in at least one of the tires of the vehicle; and testing, by the microprocessor, to determine whether a condition is acceptable for inflation, if a verification of a non-critical under-inflation condition is received, and determining that the condition is acceptable for inflation upon simultaneous occurrence of: when an acceptable condition for inflation is determined, transmitting a corresponding signal.
