Overview
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 de-
signed for severe-duty applications and 
long service life. It contains a pressure 
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 for-
wards any changes. 
The RDC provides an important contri-
bution to driving safety.
