Correct answer
- BTPMSTPMS
The correct answer is TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). This driver assistance (ADAS) system has been compulsory on new cars registered in the EU since November 2014. Its main job is to monitor the inflation pressure of the wheels constantly and switch on a warning light on the dashboard if it detects a loss of pressure, helping to prevent blowouts, uneven wear and excessive fuel consumption. The other options are ruled out: - eCall: the automatic emergency call system that is activated after a serious accident. - ISA: Intelligent Speed Assistance, which warns the driver or intervenes if the road's speed limit is exceeded.
