Renault Clio: Tyre Pressure Monitor
Tyre pressure monitor: List and location of components
TYRE PRESSURE SENSOR

The system consists of:
- four pressure sensors (1) built into the valves (one per
wheel); the sensors transmit a radio signal,
- a computer (2) which collects, decodes and processes
sensor signals, and then determines which message
to display,
- a display (3) integrated to the instrument panel,


- a UCH (4) located behind the passenger compartment relay/fuse box (5).
Note:
The position of the sensor on each wheel is automatically
identified by the UCH computer.

The pressure sensor comprises:
- a conventional valve,
- a pressure sensor,
- a temperature sensor,
- an acceleration sensor,
- a specific radiofrequency transmitter,
- a non-removable battery.
