Abstract
A self-adaptive method for assisting in the inflation of tires of a vehicle that is stationary in an immobilization mode, the method including continuously measuring at least the pressure of each tire by way of a wheel unit, transmitting signals on the state of the tires between each wheel unit and a central unit, these signals being transmitted by each wheel unit through frequency-shift keying between two first predetermined frequencies defining a first frequency band. In a immobilization mode, each wheel unit is reprogrammed such that it transmits, to the central unit, first and second frequency-shift keyed signals respectively with first and second frequency bands, the second band being wider than the first band.
