Practice question
What is the purpose of the Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS / Reifendruckregelanlage) on certain specialized heavy all-wheel drive trucks?
- It maintains one fixed high road pressure and prevents any driver adjustment
- It transfers air between tires so all wheel positions always have identical pressure
- It allows the driver to adjust tire inflation pressures from inside the cab while driving, lowering pressure on soft mud/sand to increase tire footprint and traction, and raising pressure for high-speed highway transit
- It replaces the need to inspect tires for damage because pressure is monitored automatically
Answer: C — It allows the driver to adjust tire inflation pressures from inside the cab while driving, lowering pressure on soft mud/sand to increase tire footprint and traction, and raising pressure for high-speed highway transit
