FORT MILL, S.C. — Continental Tire has introduced ContiConnect LITE to create a bridge between tire sensors and tire management.
ContiConnect LITE is a free gateway to select ContiConnect functionality via smartphone.
With ContiConnect LITE, Continental said it is allowing fleets and truck drivers to test a state-of-the-art system for free to show them how routine tire checks can improve the overall health and maintenance to their vehicle's tires.
ContiConnect LITE is for those who have Generation II sensors or Continental Intelligent Tires but haven't signed up yet for a Yard Reader or a Live System.
The tool allows users to access their tire data via Bluetooth and connect to the ContiConnect On-Site app to share tire pressure and temperature with the user. The user registers online to gain instant information into their tires' conditions.
The user can create, manage and configure up to five vehicles and track tire data. The system is designed for pre-trip inspection as the users receive tire data and alerts to their phone while the vehicle is stationary, Conti said.
Checking tire condition brings added value, particularly for smaller fleets using intelligent tires or Generation II sensors, Conti said.
Similar to other ContiConnect systems, ContiConnect LITE can help to reduce breakdowns, labor and maintenance costs through tire checks.
No additional hardware is required to use ContiConnect LITE. Users can download the ContiConnect On-Site app and register for ContiConnect LITE. The app is available in IOS and Android versions.
