Tires and wheels
Reactivating Advanced TPMS
The Advanced TPMS must be reactivated
when you have adjusted the tire inflation
pressure to a new level (e.g. because of dif-
ferent load or driving conditions). The Ad-
vanced TPMS is then recalibrated to the
current tire inflation pressures.
Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
page 523) or, if available, the sup-
plemental tire inflation pressure
information on the inside of the fuel fill-
er flap (
page 509), make sure the tire
inflation pressure of all four tires is
correct.
Switch on the ignition (page 336).
Press( or& to select the menu
“Service”.
Press$ or% to select
“Tire pressure”.
Press#.
You will see

the current inflation pressures for
each tire
or

the message
“Tire pressures
displayed after driving
a few minutes”
appear in the multifunction display.
Press%.
The message
“Use current pressure
values as new
reference values
To confirm press "OK"”
appears in the multifunction display.
Warning!G
It is the driver’s responsibility to calibrate
the Advanced TPMS on the recommended
cold inflation pressure. Underinflated tires
affect the ability to steer or brake the vehi-
cle. You might lose control over the vehicle.
iReactivate the Advanced TPMS after adjust-
ing the tire inflation pressure to the inflation
pressure recommended for the vehicle operating
condition. Tire inflation pressure should only be
adjusted on cold tires. Observe the recommend-
ed tire inflation pressure on the Tire and Loading
Information placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
(
page 523). Some vehicles may have supple-
mental tire inflation pressure information for
driving at high speeds (
page 529) or for vehi-
cle loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle
condition. If such information is provided, it can
be found on the inside of the fuel filler flap
(
page 509).
iAfter wheel rotation or sensor replacement,
the vehicle must be parked for 20 minutes be-
fore attempting to reactivate the Advanced
TPMS.
iThe menu overview can be found on
(
page 258).

No wheel sensorsThe Advanced TPMS is deactivated because
wheels without proper sensors were in-
stalled.Have the wheel sensors installed by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
As soon as all wheels with sensors have been mounted, the
Advanced TPMS is switched back on after driving for several
minutes.
Tire pressure monitor
currently unavailableThe Advanced TPMS is unable to monitor
the tire inflation pressure due to:

a nearby radio interference source

the on-board voltage is too low

excessive wheel sensor temperatures
As soon as the causes for the malfunction are no longer present,
the Advanced TPMS automatically becomes active again after a
few minutes driving.
Warning!G
Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects
the ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You
may lose control of the vehicle.
Continued driving with a flat tire will cause
excessive heat build-up and possibly a fire.
