my bad, it is a tire pressure monitor, not inflator
Straight out of the owners manual:
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System consists of the
following components:
• Receiver Module
• 4 Wheel Sensors
• 4 Wheel Sensor Trigger Modules
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System Display Messages in
the EVIC
• Amber Colored Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator
Lamp
The system consists of tire pressure monitoring sensors
attached to each wheel through the valve stem mounting
hole, a central receiver module, Wheel Sensor Trigger
Modules mounted in three of the four wheel wells,
various Tire Pressure Monitoring System Display Mes-
sages in the EVIC, and an amber colored Indicator Lamp.
NOTE: For vehicles with optional wheel/tire sizes and
significantly different tire placard pressures, the placard
pressure value and the low-pressure threshold value is
re-programmable at your authorized dealer to accommo-
date the customer selected wheel/tire combinations rec-
ommended by DaimlerChrysler.
The following warnings will cause a text message to be
displayed, an audible chime to sound and the tire pres-
sure Indicator Lamp to illuminate. The audible chime
will occur once every ignition cycle for each warning
detected. The tire pressure Indicator Lamp will illumi-
nate continuously (solid) and will remain illuminated
until the warning condition is removed/reset.
When the appropriate conditions exist, the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays the following
messages.
LEFT FRONT, LEFT REAR, RIGHT FRONT,
RIGHT REAR LOW PRESSURE
One or more of these messages will be displayed in the
EVIC if a low tire pressure condition exists in one or more
tires.
Inspect all tires for proper inflation pressure, once the
proper tire pressure has been set, the TPM system
warning will reset automatically when the vehicle has
been driven for at least 2 minutes at or above 15 mph (24
km/h).
CHECK TPM SYSTEM
See your authorized dealer when this message appears in
the EVIC. This message indicates that a system fault
condition has been detected.
CAUTION!
The TPMsystem has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system pressures
have been established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sen-
sor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or
style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage.
Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads
if your vehicle is equipped with a TPM system, as
damage to the sensors may result.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al
ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will preven
moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem
which could damage the wheel rim sensor.
NOTE:
• The TPM system can inform the driver of a low t
pressure condition.
• The TPM system is not intended to replace normal t
care and maintenance, nor to provide warning of a t
failure or condition.
• The TPM system should not be used as a tire pressu
gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.

I dig hammocks.
I had a 2000 Chev Impala with a tire pressure warning system, it was tied in to the ABS/ traction control system. It was monitoring individual wheel revolution speed I think. Helped me once when I had a deflating tire to get to the tire store and repair it before it failed.
I suppose that's what it's for, and that's pretty cool. I'm just thinking of what it will be like when the car is 15-20 years old.

The monitoring systems are inside the wheel, they can't contribute to a leak unless they managed to come loose and wore the tire out from the inside (unlikely).

Thats what I understood Carl, the ABS/traction control goes by wheel spin rate, when the car detects one wheel that is out of synch it lets ya know.

Yeah, little gear or impusle generator on each wheel for wheel speed to control ABS. ABS is used to do the traction control, both systems are ran by a computer.
The monitors are fairly small, and glue or use a huge hose clamp to attach to the wheel (from what I've seen).

ha, yeah, I remember trying to get up my inlaws steep driveway in the snow... talk about confusing the computer. I was a little on the gas to make it go but the ABS was shuddering away trying to limit wheel spin. Three confused passengers and a pizzed off driver.

You know I just re-read this thread title and I have to say I feel like Ed is rubbing it in a bit, damm him 
Our vehicles SUCK over here unless you completely re-build them. Sure would like a nice simple toyota tundra or smaller with a great turbo diesel...

The awesomeness of that truck has nothing to do with it being a Euro chassis, it's all in the rear half track setup.
Thus I overlooked Ed's gloat of euroship

Don't them folk allow "relations" and marriage with farm animals in rural, femal stricken towns?
Yeah, I wouldn't gloat either.

Yeah, I could have used that truck the other day.
We had 2.5 days of non-stop rain. We're not used to that over here. The soft/wet clay made it very difficult for my trucks to get around the yard.
Those European trucks are impressive.
