Tire Pressure Control (RDC)
*
This system regularly checks tire pres-
sure and monitors all four tires even 
while driving, so you don't have to. 
Behind the valve stem in every wheel, 
there is an electronic chip that is 
designed for severe-duty applications 
and long service life. It contains a pres-
sure sensor, a transmitter and a battery. 
The pressure is measured in extremely 
short time intervals and then transmitted 
by a radio signal. If an irregularity is 
detected, the transmission rate is 
increased.

Near every wheel is an antenna in the 
body that receives the signal from the 
wheel. A central electronics system 
evaluates the quadruple signals and 
forwards any changes. 
The RDC provides an important contri-
bution to driving safety.
