How IntelliSens works
IntelliSens is fitted to the valve in the rim of the wheel.
Each of the four sensors measures the temperature
and air pressure separately for each tire, and then
transmits this data via radio signal to the vehicle's
central control unit.

A: Wheel electronics with valve
B: Control unit
C: Driver information system

How IntelliSens warns
The universal sensor warns the driver instantly
and accurately by illuminating an indicator light
on the dashboard, and by showing which of the
tires has a pressure problem in a display.
This allows the driver and the service center to
see at a glance which tire needs to be checked.

Configuration in just seconds
The Huf universal sensor IntelliSens is pre-programmed with the protocols of numerous tire pressure sensors for various vehicles models. It can be configured during installation in just a few seconds with the aid of a diagnostic tool. This not only speeds up the work flow, but also keeps the customer from waiting too long.

Update function
Via the TPMS tool, the IntelliSens Universal Sensors receive an update of the latest vehicle protocols that always keep the tire pressure sensors up-to-date.

Precision fit
The universal sensor consists of only five individual components that can be assembled quickly thanks to the unique fastening concept.

Optimization of inventory
The universal sensor IntelliSens fits all vehicles and rim types on the market which are subject to the current legislation. This simplifies stock-keeping in the service center.

Convenient valve assembly process
in just a few steps
Quick and easy for mechanics to install.

Added safety
A study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA, USA) showed that vehicles with a tire pressure at the recommended level are much more likely to be involved in an accident due to tire damage. Detecting and eliminating tire pressure problems early on improves drivability and prevents accidents caused by tire damage.

Reduces the cost of driving
The TPMS helps to extend the lifetime of a tire. A tire with 20% less pressure than the recommended level shortens the lifetime of the tire tread by up to 25%. Switching to a direct measurement TPMS offers financial benefits through the extended service life.

Greener roads
Driving with the correct air pressure in your tires can save 1-3% in fuel costs. Lower fuel consumption and a longer service life of the tire lead to a reduction in CO₂ emissions. Driving with the correct air pressure can lower fuel costs by 1-3%. By reducing the fuel consumption and extending the lifetime of the tires, IntelliSens contributes to the reduction of CO₂ emissions.

Less time spent at the service center
The IntelliSens can be replaced quickly if it should fail. That means getting the same quality as an original sensor with less time spent at the service center.

In OEM quality for the aftermarket
Huf supplies retailers with genuine spare sensors in OE quality for all of the systems supplied to automakers. The IntelliSens universal sensor, which is of the same quality and has the same features, was developed especially for service centers.

Direct-measurement systems for the greatest accuracy
IntelliSens is fitted directly to the valve and measures the tire pressure and temperature from the inside of every tire. This data is then displayed on the dashboard by a control unit. This method of measurement is not only faster, but also more accurate than indirect methods that use ABS/ESP sensors.

IntelliSens – in a flash
Installing the IntelliSens is as easy as it is quick – whether you’re changing a set of tires or just the sensor. Programming is done with the aid of a TPMS diagnostic tool.

Legal situation in the EU
In Europe, the ECE-R 64 stipulates that as of November 2014, all newly registered vehicles must be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Legislation in den USA
Since 2008, every newly registered vehicle must have been fitted with a tire pressure monitoring system (THREAD ACT). Around 70 million vehicles are now equipped with them, 98% of which have direct-measurement systems due to the advantages.

Legislation in Asia
Legal regulations are in preparation there. It is expected that in the future, they will also require that tire pressure monitoring systems be installed in new vehicles.
