How do you check the tire pressure on a Mercedes Benz?
I was driving my Mercedes yesterday when the tire pressure sensor lit up on my dash. I don’t think the tire pressure is low, but I’m not sure. What do I need to do to check it?

Seeing an alert pop up on your dash is always concerning! Fortunately, it’s easy to check things out. To check the tire pressure on a Mercedes Benz, you’ll need to navigate to the Service menu.
The tire pressure light is part of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and it simply alerts you to a drop in tire pressure. Here’s what you need to do when you see that yellow alert:
Park the car but keep it turned on
Press the right/left arrow keys on the steering wheel to access the “Service” menu
Press the up/down arrow keys to select ”Tire Pressure” and “OK”
Now, your vehicle should show you the tire pressure for each tire! If you’d rather do it manually, just push a tire pressure gauge into each tire’s valve and make a note of the reading.
