When to Check Tire Pressure on Your Mercedes-Benz

1. To check your tire pressure, first start your car.
2. Next, locate the arrow buttons on the left-hand side of your steering wheel.
3. Push the left or right button until “Service” is highlighted.
4. Push the down button and highlight “Tire Pressure.”
5. Then, press the “OK” button. The display will show your current tire pressure.

What to Do If Your Tire Pressure Is Low

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System has a “Check Tire Pressure Light” that will turn on if the tires are underinflated or overinflated. If this light is on, you should use a hand-held pressure gauge to check your tires. Then, adjust your tires to the recommended levels that are listed on the label inside of your fuel door. After you adjust your tires, check the “Tire Pressure” display to confirm your tires are at correct pressure levels. You may see a message that says, “Tire pressure will display after a few minutes.” If this is the case, drive around for a few minutes before checking again.
