1Introduction
FOBO Tire Plus is the world‟s most advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) using Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth 4.0) technology to monitor your car tire
pressure and temperature. Bluetooth Smart is a very low power wireless technology
that could operate on a single coin cell battery for up to two years (NOTE: Battery
life may vary according to usage and climatic temperature. Operating under
extreme cold may drastically reduce battery life.)
Please ensure that your smartphone has Bluetooth Smart Ready (Bluetooth 4.0)
capability in order to use FOBO Tire Plus. Currently FOBO Tire Plus works best
with iOS7.1 and Android 4.30 and above.
Before starting to use FOBO Tire Plus, please download the free FOBO Tire App to
your smartphone from Google PlayStore or Apple AppStore.
FOBO Tire Plus is a product designed and produced by Salutica Allied Solutions
Sdn. Bhd. (“Salutica”), a Malaysian company with its address at No. 3, Jalan Zarib
6, Kawasan Perindustrian Zarib, 31500 Lahat, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.
2About FOBO Tire Plus
FOBO Tire Plus monitors your car tires non-stop around the clock. Most drivers
have encountered situations where they need to rush for an urgent Appointment
only to be stranded by a flat tire. Conventional Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
(TPMS) could not alert you in advance because it stops operating as soon as the car
ignition is switched-off. With FOBO Tire Plus, you will get an alert as soon as the
tire pressure drops below a certain pre-set level, even when the car ignition is
switched off as long as you are within Bluetooth range (~30m). This alert gives you
time to get the flat tire fixed before you need to use it.
FOBO Tire Plus can monitor up to 19 cars on each smartphone. You can receive
data from the tire pressure sensors from all your cars without switching on the
ignition. FOBO Tire allows you to monitor your car tires conveniently any time you
want. NOTE: Under certain conditions the signals from FOBO Tire Plus
sensors may be blocked by surrounding objects or structures. If this occurs,
please move around the vehicle in order to capture signals from all the tire
sensors.

4 | P a g e
If you are sharing your car with family members or friends, you can allow others to
use access your FOBO Tire Plus sensors through the FoboShare function. After
adding them through FoboShare, family members or friends using your car will
receive alerts and data from your FOBO Tire on their own smart phone immediately.
FOBO Tire Plus consists of 4 tire sensors and 1 In-Car unit. Replace your tire valve
caps with the sensors and place the In-Car unit inside the car. The sensors will
measure tire pressure of each tire and transmit via Bluetooth to the In-Car unit and
your smartphone. In case of any problem, the In-Car unit will produce alert sound
to notify you a problem and an alert will also pop up on your smartphone if it is
within Bluetooth range. The In-Car unit also comes with LEDs to show position of
the problematic tire.
FOBO Tire Plus system requires a smartphone and App for installation. In addition
to being able to view information regarding your car tire pressure and temperature,
the FOBO Tire smartphone App will also produce an alert when your tire has a
problem.
DISCLAIMER: FOBO TIRE PLUS IS NOT A DEVICE THAT PREVENTS
ACCIDENTS. IT IS ALSO NOT A DEVICE THAT PREVENTS TIRES
FROM BECOMING DEFLATED OR OVERINFLATED. FOBO TIRE PLUS
IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFE TIRE MAINTENANCE PRACTICES.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES WHILE
DRIVING AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR VEHICLE’S
TIRE CONDITION TO ENSURE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. YOU
SHOULD CONTINUE TO PRACTICE PROPER TIRE CARE AND
SCHEDULED TIRE MAINTENANCE.
3Importance of tire care
It is extremely important to ensure car tires are properly inflated for safety while
driving. However, many drivers tend to neglect proper tire care and maintenance.
The car tires are the only contact points between the car and the road. The weight of
the car and passengers are supported by the air pressure inside the tires. Improperly
inflated car tires may cause serious accidents on the road.
When tires are underinflated, the additional rolling resistance may cause build up of
heat which may lead to the de-lamination of the tire materials as well as damage to
the tire‟s sidewall thus increasing the chances of a tire blow-out. Underinflated tires
will also cause accelerated wear on the tire shoulders thereby causing uneven tire
wear. Gas mileage will also be affected due to additional rolling resistance when
driving with underinflated tires. You would also experience a significant loss of
steering precision and cornering stability. Significantly under-inflated tires will also
be less effective in resisting hydroplaning.

5 | P a g e
On the other hand, an overinflated tire will cause accelerated wear on the center
portion of the tire resulting in uneven tire wear. It would also result in a harsher ride
and makes the tire more susceptible to damage when going over potholes or debris
on the road..
What is the optimum tire pressure? There are a lot of information about this subject
in internet forums and web articles. A quick guide for better understanding of tire
pressure below:-
1) Car manufacturers recommend the optimum tire pressure for their car
models. The information is usually available on a sticker at the door jam
(side of the driver‟s door) or in the owner‟s manual. For some car models,
the information sticker may be on the trunk lid or on the fuel door. Car
manufacturers usually recommend different tire pressure for front and rear
tires. This pressure is usually recommended for comfort driving and
optimum performance of the car. It is not advisable to go below this
recommended pressure level.
2) The car manufacturer recommended tire pressure is “cold pressure”. When
you drive your car to the gas station, the friction on the road will heat up
your car tires within a few minutes. Typically there will 1 psi (~7kPa)
increase in air pressure for every 10 deg F (5.6 deg C) rise in temperature. It
is advisable to inflate the tire pressure with this compensated pressure above
the recommended pressure.
3) Air pressure in tires is affected by changes in temperature. Check and adjust
your tire pressure whenever there is a drastic change in environment
temperature, eg. change of season.
4) A tire will normally lose its pressure through natural causes unless
accelerated by a puncture, faulty valve or damaged wheels. It is advisable to
change the tire valves or at least check the valves condition every time you
change a new set of tires. Under normal condition, a set of tires could
deflate at a rate of up to 2psi per month. It is good practice to check your tire
pressure regularly and top up to the optimum pressure.
5) Every car tire has a maximum inflation pressure. It is not advisable to inflate
to the maximum inflation pressure of the tire. Follow the car manufacturer‟s
recommended tire pressure instead.

NOTE: For iOS user, please select “Allow” location services for FOBO Tire
App when prompted by the OS. Without location services, the FOBO Tire App
will not be able to sync with In-Car unit.
The FOBO Tire Plus In-Car unit is a complex device that performs multiple
functions. Due to the shielding effect of the car chassis, some drivers may face
difficulty in receiving the tire sensor signals on their smartphone when sitting inside
the car. This problem may be further aggravated when the driver places the
smartphone in positions that are not optimal such as trouser pocket or waist pouch.
The In-Car unit is designed with an efficient antenna that can pick up sensor signals
up to 10dB better than a usual smartphone. With the In-Car unit, you can be assured
of a good signal reception from the tire sensors.
The In-Car unit is designed to be placed anywhere inside the car, please do not
remove it from the car. In order for FOBO Tire Plus to functions optimally, please
ensure that the In-Car unit remains inside the car. Note that In-Car unit is not water-
proof. The best location to place the In-Car unit will be to affix it on the lower
dashboard position but away from direct sunlight. Use the Velcro double side tape
provided in the packaging to secure the In-Car unit. Do not enclose the In-Car unit
inside any metal compartment or box. This will cause the In-Car unit unable to
receive signals from tire sensors.
To conserve battery life, the In-Car unit will go into „sleep‟ mode after it detects
that the vehicle has been stationary for more than 15 minutes. It will „wake up‟once
it detects that the vehicle moves. You can still receive your tire pressure and
temperature data by accessing the FOBO Tire App on the smartphone, even when
the In-Car unit is asleep. This is due to FOBO Tire Plus‟s sensors continuous
operation of 24 x 7 which allows you to receive an alert even when you are not
driving the car.
The In-Car unit will also synchronize with your smartphone with your settings that
you have changed every time it wakes up. For any changed settings in the App, it
will only be synchronized during the next In-Car unit wake up cycle. Alternatively

8 | P a g e
you can long press on the side button of In-Car unit until you hear a beep, in order
to put the In-Car unit into synchronization mode with the smartphone App.
The In-Car unit is also designed to be a secondary alert device in the event of a
deflated tire. This is to cover situations when you do not have your smartphone with
you while driving or if your smartphone‟s battery is dead. When there is a tire
pressure alert, the In-Car unit will produce an audible and visual LED alerts to
inform you of a tire pressure problem. To silence the repetitive audio alerts, just
quick press the side button once. To check back the position of the problematic tire,
a quick press on the side button once more and the LED of the problematic tire
position will light up.
The In-Car unit will emit a start-up tone every time it wakes up upon detecting the
car‟s movement. This tone is also to inform you or the driver that the In-Car unit is
operational. In case you do not hear this tone when start moving the car, please
check the state of the In-Car unit by a quick press on the side button once. If you
hear a long single tone that means the In-Car is still in sleep mode. You can change
the detection sensitivity in the FOBO Tire App by going to Edit Car Profile ->
Advance Setting screen to adjust the In-Car unit sensitivity. In some electric cars,
the In-Car unit may require higher sensitivity to detect the car moving.
NOTE: Unnecessarily waking up the In-Car unit will drain battery.

Single internal battery - CR2032 coin cell battery. When replacing battery,
please ensure the “+” sign of the battery is facing up,
away from PCB.
Internal PCB - internal electronics circuit (The pressure sensor chip
is mounted within this PCBA, and it senses the tire
pressure against a built-in vacuum, resulting in an
Absolute Pressure reading. The internal firmware
will then subtract the sea-level pressure of 101.3
Kpa (14.7 psi) from this reading. This final reading
which will be shown in the app can be termed as i)
Tire Absolute Pressure minus sea level pressure,
or ii) Gage Pressure reference to sea-level altitude.
With this formulation, Fobo tire sensor will read the
same pressure value for any given tire, irrespective
of altitude (assuming a constant temperature). This
will ensure the correct tire footprint per vehicle
manufacturer‟s pressure recommendation, for all
altitude above sea-level, given a constant
temperature.
As a corollary, a tire with a Fobo reading of, say 40
psi at an altitude of 5000ft, will read the same 40
psi when driven to sea-level, given a constant
temperature. In reality, it will read higher due to the
warmer temperature at sea-level, and may need
some air release if the temperature difference is
great. Tire pressure generally will increase 1 psi
(~7kPa) for every 10 deg F (5.6 deg C) rise in
temperature.
Fobo wishes to highlight the above formulation is
for usage at sea-level and above, and will not be
accurate for use otherwise. In practice, this should
not be an issue as the lowest area on earth will
result in an insignificant error of 0.3 psi (~2 Kpa).
For users who wish to retain „Gage Pressure
Reading‟, the Fobo Tire App has a Gage Pressure,
adjusted to local altitude using cell towers or
individual phone barometer if available. This Gage
Pressure button can be accessed from the App
(Kindly refers to Section 5.10 of this user manual).

10 | P a g e
FOBO Tire Plus sensor units are designed to be robust and operate reliably
24x7 to provide tire information around the clock. It is designed to be water
proof (IP57) and by our special use of custom engineering plastics, it will be
able to withstand road salts or other common automotive chemicals (petrol,
engine oil, car wash shampoo, etc.).
Our designers have designed the sensors to ensure that there is no air leakage
as it replaces the tire‟s original valve cap. There is no need to screw on the
sensor extremely tight. Apply a reasonable hand twist force to ensure the
sensor is securely installed and should be able to be removed by hand with
ease.
When installing the sensors, please follow the on-screen prompt of the FOBO
Tire App. Do not screw on the tire sensors until instructed by the FOBO Tire
App. After installation, in the event the tire sensors positions are mixed up,
usually after performing a tire rotation maintenance, you can easily re-
position the sensors to their correct position by selecting „Rotate Tires‟ on the
FOBO Tire Plus App and follow the on-screen instructions. This eliminates
the need to remove the tire sensors physically.
A missing or damaged tire sensor can be replaced easily through the FOBO
Tire App. You will need to purchase a replacement sensor which you can do
so online at www.my-fobo.com. To replace the sensor, first select
„Disable/Install Sensor‟ on the FOBO Tire App on your car status settings and
the App will prompt you to tap on the tire position that you want to replace
for 5 seconds. The box will then show “Disabled”. Then, select
„Disable/Install Sensor‟ again and tap on the same box and the App will
prompt you to install the replacement sensor. Follow the on-screen instruction
and the replacement sensor will be paired and be ready to use.
NOTE: Battery life span up to Two years is an estimate based on normal
use at 23 °C. Battery life may vary according to usage and climatic
temperature.
Battery life span will change due to the following reasons:
1) Frequent change of pressure threshold setting in the App.
2) Disabling & enabling of sensors.
3) Release & pairing.
4) Removal & screw-on of sensors.
5) Operating under extreme cold/hot temperature.
6) Testing of product.
7) Rotation (refer section 5.4 of this user manual)

11 | P a g e
8) Trigger alert or let activated alerts unattended.
9) Multiple removal and screw-on of sensors for equalizing all tire
pressures.
All these activities will drain a battery very fast and affect the battery life
span.
4.3 Sensor Lock nuts and wrench
FOBO Tire Plus sensors and In-Car unit are tied to a FOBO account after
installation. They are not re-usable or transferable without the owner releasing
them from his/her FOBO account. This is a theft deterrent feature to
discourage theft.
As an additional anti-theft feature, all FOBO Tire Plus package comes with
lock-nuts and special wrench. FOBO Tire Plus‟s functionality is not affected
if you do not use the lock-nuts.
The lock nuts and wrench are made of custom engineering plastics that can
withstand road salts and common automotive chemicals (gasoline, engine oil,
car wash shampoo, etc).
In order to use the lock nuts, you must first install the lock nut to the tire valve
(with the bump facing tire rim). Screw in the lock nut all the way down and
ensure that there is still a minimum of 5 thread count on the tire valve for
the sensor unit to be screwed on. If there is insufficient thread for the tire
sensor, it may lead to air leakage. A solution for this would be to change the
tire valve to one with a longer thread. Next, screw in the tire sensor unit until
it is reasonably tight. Then use your finger to unscrew the lock nut outwards

12 | P a g e
(i.e. anti-clockwise) until it pushes against the bottom of the sensor unit. Use
the wrench to tighten the lock nut. The resultant friction force will make it
difficult to remove the sensor unit without loosening the lock nut. For rubber
valves, hold the valve stem with one hand and tighten the lock nut with the
wrench on another hand. This is to avoid the rubber valve from twisting
making it unable to tighten the lock nut.
WARNING: Do not apply too much force to tighten the lock-nut. You
may face difficulty to loosen the lock nut later on especially for rubber
valves that typically doesn’t stay firm on the tire rims.
NOTE: If your tire valve is too short, you shouldn’t use the lock nut as
this will block the sensors from being completely screwed on the tire
valve and causes air leak. Our sensors are designed to work on a tire
valve with a minimum of 5 thread counts.
Use the key chain provided to keep the wrench together with your car keys, so
that you don‟t have to worry about misplaced wrench when you need to
remove the sensors when adding air to your tires.

CAUTION:
Motor vehicles of all kinds (cars, trucks, motor scooters and motorcycles)
come with a very wide array of rims, wheels, and tires, with an even larger

17 | P a g e
choice of aftermarket products. It is impossible for us to test every
combination and check the fitment of the FOBO sensor. In some instances,
when the FOBO sensor is screwed onto the valve stem, it might extend
slightly beyond the face of the rim/wheel. If the rim/wheel comes close to or
strikes an object, such as a curb, a pothole, the guide rail for an automatic car
wash, or a component on the vehicle (such as the brake system on a
motorcycle), the FOBO sensor or the valve stem itself might become damaged.
This can cause the FOBO to provide improper readings, or might cause a loss
of air pressure. We recommend that you carefully assess the fitment of your
rims, wheels, tires and the FOBO on your vehicle. If you have any concerns,
consult with your tire shop or auto mechanic. A shorter valve stem might be
considered to mitigate the situation.
5.3 FOBO SHARE- Setting up multiple users
FOBO Tire Plus is easy to share with your family members and friends. You
can share FOBO Tire Plus with up to 100 users by using the App‟s FoboShare
