receive alerts and data from your FOBO Ultra on their respective smart phone
which is installed with FOBO Ultra App. Refer Details at Section 5.3
FOBO Ultra packaging consists of 4 wireless tire sensors, 1 wireless In-Car unit
and a 24V 10 feet power cable with connector to In-Car or Repeater. Replace your
vehicle tire valve caps with the sensors and place the In-Car unit inside the cab. The
sensors will measure tire pressure of each tire and transmit via Bluetooth to the In-
Car unit and your smartphone. In case of a breach of pre-set threshold of tire
pressure, the In-Car unit will produce an audible alert to notify you. An alert will
also pop up on your smartphone if it is within Bluetooth range.
FOBO Ultra system requires a qualified smartphone and FOBO Ultra App for
installation. In addition to being able to view information regarding your vehicle
tire pressure and temperature, the FOBO Ultra App will also produce an alert when
your tire has a problem.
DISCLAIMER: FOBO ULTRA IS NOT A DEVICE THAT PREVENTS
ACCIDENTS. IT IS ALSO NOT A DEVICE THAT PREVENTS TIRES
FROM BECOMING DEFLATED OR OVERINFLATED. FOBO ULTRA IS
NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFE TIRE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES WHILE
DRIVING AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR VEHICLE’S
TIRE CONDITION TO ENSURE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. YOU
SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRACTICE PROPER TIRE CARE AND
SCHEDULED TIRE MAINTENANCE.
3 Importance of tire care
It is extremely important to ensure vehicle tires are properly inflated for safety
while driving. However, many drivers tend to neglect proper tire care and
maintenance. The vehicle tires are the only contact points between the vehicle and
the road. The weight of the vehicle and passengers are supported by the air pressure
inside the tires. Improperly inflated vehicle tires may cause serious accidents on the
road.
When tires are underinflated, the additional rolling resistance may cause buildup of
heat which may lead to the de-lamination of the tire materials as well as damage to
the tire‟s sidewall, which in turn increases the chances of a tire blow-out.
Underinflated tires will also cause accelerated wear on the tire shoulders thereby
causing uneven tire wear. Gas mileage will also be affected due to additional rolling
resistance when driving with underinflated tires. You would also experience a
significant loss of steering precision and cornering stability. Significantly under-
inflated tires will also be less effective in resisting hydroplaning.
