AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing methods for limiting vehicle speed when using a spare tire or tire sealant repair do not account for the differential stress caused by different tire diameters, leading to potential overloading and unsafe driving conditions.
Method used
A method and device that detect the presence and position of a spare tire or tire sealant repair, adjusting the maximum speed based on the spare tire's position on the vehicle, and optionally providing visual or acoustic warnings, to ensure safe operation by limiting speed and torque.
Benefits of technology
Ensures safe vehicle operation by dynamically adjusting speed and torque limits based on tire position, preventing overloading and informing the driver of safe driving conditions.

Abstract
Method for automatically limiting the speed of a motor vehicle when a spare wheel or a tire repaired with a tire sealant is fitted, wherein the presence of at least one fitted spare wheel or a tire repaired with a tire sealant is detected, and when at least one fitted spare wheel or a tire repaired with a tire sealant is present, the maximum speed of the vehicle is limited independently of the driver, characterized in that the maximum speed depends on the position of the spare wheel or the repaired tire on the vehicle.
