Abstract

An automatic vehicle tire pressure measurement/adjustment system for measuring and adjusting the tire pressure of a vehicle. The system includes an automatic handling unit having a pressure attachment positionable into a tire pressure measurement/adjustment position onto a valve of a tire, a tire pressure measurement device connectable to the pressure attachment for measuring the existing tire pressure, a determination device for determining a nominal tire pressure based on at least one vehicle-specific parameter, a first communication device located in the vehicle and connectable to the determination device for input of the at least one vehicle-specific parameter into the determination device, and a tire pressure adjustment device connectable to the pressure attachment and connectable to the determination device for transmitting the nominal tire pressure to establish a transmitted nominal tire pressure.
