Your Mercedes-Benz tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) helps you stay safe when driving on the roads around Oak Park. Whether you’re commuting to the office or cruising to the lake, proper tire pressure fosters good road traction and helps maintain efficiency. The Mercedes-Benz TPMS alerts you when low-tire-pressure conditions are detected, so you can stop and air up your tires. However, you can also use the TPMS to check your tire pressure on the instrument cluster. Read on to learn more about your vehicle’s TPMS with the Mercedes-Benz of Chicago service center!
Has your tire pressure warning light turned on, or are you simply curious about your tire pressure levels? Follow the steps below to learn how to check your tire pressure using the tire pressure monitoring system:
The warning light for the Mercedes-Benz tire pressure monitoring system is a yellow flat tire icon. When you see it on your dashboard, you should follow the steps above to determine which tire has low pressure. You will need to visit a tire filling station or a local Evanston gas station to add air to the tire, but be careful not to overinflate it. Keep in mind that the tire pressure when you reach the gas station will be a little off because the tires have heated up on the drive there.
After adding air to your tires, you may need to reset the TPMS manually. If the light doesn’t turn off after a few miles of driving, simply follow the aforementioned instructions to navigate to the TPMS menu. Once there, press the down arrow on your steering wheel, and press “OK” to restart the TPMS. You should see the tire pressure numbers adjust on the screen, indicating that the system has been reset.
Sometimes, the Mercedes-Benz tire pressure monitoring system light comes on because the system itself needs service. If the light flashes for a minute or more before going solid and remaining on, it could mean you need to have the battery for the TPMS sensor replaced. It’s important to get this service done so that your TPMS can accurately monitor your tires in Lincolnwood. You can schedule service at Mercedes-Benz of Chicago online and choose a time that fits your schedule.
How often should you inspect your tire pressure levels using the tire pressure monitoring system? In general, you should check your tire pressure every month or two. However, during harsh Melrose Park winters, you should check your tire pressure more frequently, so that it’s easier for your Mercedes-Benz to drive in the snow. It’s also important to monitor the tire pressure lights on your dashboard as the TPMS will turn on its warning light if your tire pressure levels are too high or too low.
