Continental Tire has introduced its ContiConnect Lite digital tire tool, an easy-to-use, free gateway to selected ContiConnect functionality via a smartphone. The tire maker said the new tool will create a bridge between tire sensors and tire management systems.
A Free Service
With ContiConnect Lite, Continental 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 of their 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 company said.
The new tool allows users to access their tire data via Bluetooth and connects to the ContiConnect On-Site App to share tire pressure and temperature information with the user. The user simply registers online to gain instant information into their tires’ conditions.
Tire Management on a Smartphone
With ContiConnect Lite, users can create, manage and configure up to five vehicles and track the tire data from a single smartphone. The system can be used to for pre-trip inspections as the users received tire data and alerts via Bluetooth straight to their phone while the vehicle is stationary.
No additional hardware is required to make use of ContiConnect Lite. Similar to other ContiConnect systems, ContiConnect Lite can help reducing breakdowns, labor and maintenance costs through tire checks, according to Continental.
Users can get started by downloading the ContiConnect On-Site app and registering for ContiConnect Lite. The app is available in IOS and Android versions.
