TPMS & tyre telematics deep-dives — Continental ContiPressureCheck / ContiConnect Live manuals + certification basis
- Source / publisher: Continental Reifen Deutschland (ContiPressureCheck user manual; ContiConnect Live installation manual; EU DoC) — continental-tires.com ContiConnect downloads portal
- Type: manual (user + installation) + certification data
- Topics: in-tyre sensor anatomy (pressure + inner temperature), RF sensor IDs/hand-held tool pairing, CAN/GSM vehicle telematics box, automatic trailer learn (hook/drop), single wheel exchange, warning tiers (very-low pressure, fast pressure loss, sensor fault), display/menu operation, dangerous-goods certification (ADR + UN ECE R10 + RED 2014/53/EU), temperature-compensated pressure logic
- Vehicle scope: truck | trailer | bus
- Region: EU (docs global-applicable); ADR/UNECE basis

- Notes:
- ContiPressureCheck user manual teaches the driver-facing layer: warning hierarchy (check sensor → very low → fast loss), pressure/temperature vehicle view, SWE flow.
- ContiConnect Live install manual (https://www.continental-tires.com/content/dam/conti-tires-cms/continental/b2b/services---solutions/conticonnect-downloads/conticonnect_live/ccl-im-long-en-sale-online-data.pdf.coredownload.pdf) teaches the telematics layer: tyre sensors → BT/RF → CAN/GSM box → cloud; covers trailer sensor sets and fleet dashboard data — the Bandag/TireStat analogues work the same way architecturally.
- Certification gem: the DoC confirms ADR approval for AT/FL/EX-II/EX-III dangerous-goods vehicles — TPMS on DG tanks is a real compliance question the docs answer.
- Baseline regulation contrast: US FMVSS 138 covers car TPMS only — no statutory truck TPMS mandate; fitment is ROI-driven (casing protection, fuel) not law.
- Peer systems to name-check when teaching: Michelin Connected Fleet, Bridgestone Tirematics/TPMS, P.S.I. ATIS (inflation ≠ monitoring), TMS International.
