Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A central tire inflation system (CTIS) of a vehicle (VH) for supplying compressed air to a tire of the vehicle to compensate for air loss from the tire. The CTIS determines a rate of air loss from the tire and includes both a sensor arranged to measure a temperature of a compressor of the CTIS and an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to: compare the rate of air loss with a rate of air loss threshold, determine, based on the compressor temperature and the comparison of the rate of air loss with the rate of air loss threshold, whether the CTIS can support compensation for the air loss; and control the CTIS to supply compressed air to the tire to compensate for the air loss if the CTIS can support compensation for the air loss.
