Abstract
Methods and apparatus to facilitate a tire change are disclosed. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to, in response to detecting that a user is changing a tire of a vehicle, prevent movement of air in a suspension system of the vehicle.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- interface circuitry;
- machine readable instructions;
- and
- programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to, in response to detecting that a user is changing a tire of a vehicle, prevent movement of air in an air suspension system of the vehicle.
A vehicle comprising:
- a suspension system including an air compartment coupled to a body of the vehicle to control a height of the body;
- a plurality of tires;
- interface circuitry;
- machine readable instructions;
- and
- programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to:
- determine that a user is changing a tire of the plurality of tires of the vehicle;
- and
- prevent movement of air into or out of the air compartment.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause programmable circuitry to at least:
- determine that a user is changing a tire of a vehicle;
- and
- prevent movement of air in an air suspension system of the vehicle in response to determining that the user is changing the tire.
