AUTOMATIC SYSTEM FOR INDICATING JACK POSITION AND GROUND SURFACE PROFILE

摘要

Many times, at night occupants struggle with positioning the jack accurately in situations of a flat tire. The main reason for this is the absence of lighting to see the ground profile and inconsistency in the type of jack locator across different carlines. This invention aims to solve this problem by using the existing puddle lamp 1 present on the underside of the OSRVM 2. When the TPMS 3 of the car detects a flat tire, the system automatically switches on the puddle lamp 1 signaling the driver and the surrounding vehicles of an emergency stoppage situation.
