Abstract
A method for determining the wheel position (FL, FR, RL, RR) of wheels (R, R, R, R) of a motor vehicle () which, for monitoring purposes, in particular for monitoring the tire pressures, are each assigned a wheel unit (E, E, E, E) which transmits data (D, D, D, D) to a central evaluation device (ECU) of the vehicle (), at least in response to a trigger signal (TR, TR, TR, TR, TR, TR). The wheel positions (FL, FR, RL, RR) of the monitored wheels (R, R, R, R) can be determined by activating a portable transmitter () whose position with respect to the vehicle () is sensed.
