Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle having a tire-pressure control system wherein pressure values in the tires are measured by respective tire-pressure control devices (4a to 4d) and are transmitted from these devices via a central antenna (6) to a central unit (10). The central antenna is mounted beneath the vehicle on an electrically-insulating surface. The antenna is preferably mounted on the surface of a fuel tank made of electrically-insulating material. With an arrangement of the central antenna (6) as described above, excellent reception of the data transmitted by the tire-pressure control devices (4a to 4d) is ensured.
