Tire valve (snap-in valve)
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Tire valve that are not approved for you rvehi-
cle by the distributor named on the inside
cover pag emay result in aloss of tire pres-
sure .This may affect road safety .There is a
risk of an accident.
Only use tire valve that are approved for your
vehiclebyt he distributor named on the inside
cover page. Always make sure you have the
correct tire valve type for the tires on your
vehicle.
!Do not screw additiona lweights (check
valves, etc.) onto the tire valves. The elec-
tronic components coul dthus be damaged.
iFor safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tire valve sthat have
been tested for use on you rvehicle.
Checking the tire pressure manually
In order to determine and adjust the tire pres-
sures, proceedasf ollows:
XRemove the valve cap of the tire you wis hto
check.
XPress the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
XRea dthe tire pressure and compare it with the
recommendedv alueont he loading informa-
tion table or the tire pressure table
(
Ypag e270).
XIf the tire pressure is too low ,increas eittothe
recommendedv alue.
XIf the tire pressure is too high ,release air by
pressing downt he metal pin in the valve .Use
the tip of apen, for example. Then, check the
tire pressure again using the tire pressure
gauge.
XScrew the valve cap onto the valve.
XRepeat the steps for the other tires.
Tire pressure monitor
General notes
In vehicles with atire pressure monitor system,
the vehicle's wheels have sensors installed
which monitor the tire pressure in all four tires.
The tire pressure monitor warns you if the pres- sure drops in one or more of the tires. The tire
pressure monitor only functions if the corre-
sponding sensors are installed on all wheels.
Tire pressure display (only on vehicles with steer-
ing whee lbuttons)
On vehicles with steering whee lbuttons, the
current pressure of the individua ltires in the
display can be shownv ia theService

For further information on displaying the current

sur eelectronically" (
Ypage 276).
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Each tire, including the spare (ifp rovided),
should be checked at least once amonth
whe ncold and inflated to the pressure rec-
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the Tir eand Loading Information placard on
the driver's doo rB-pilla rort he tire pressure
label on the inside of the fue lfiller flap. If your
vehicle has tires of adifferent size than the
size indicated on the Tir eand Loading Infor-
mation placard or the tire pressure label ,you
should determine the proper tire pressure for
those tires.
As an added safety feature ,you rv ehicle has
bee nequipped with atire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pres-
sur etelltal ewheno ne or more of your tires
are significantly underinflated. Accordingly,
whe nthe low tire pressure telltal eillumi nates,
yo us hould stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on asignificantly underin-
flated tire causes the tire to overheata nd can
lea dtot ire failure. Underinflation also
reduce sfue lefficiency and tire treadl ife, and
may affect the vehicle' shandling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMSisn otas ubstitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv-
er's responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if underinflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMSl ow tire pressure telltale.
USA only:
You rvehicle has also bee
nequipped with a
TPM

Sm alfunction indicator to indicate if the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. Whe nthe system
detects amalfunction, the warning lamp will
flash for approximately aminute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will be repeated ever ytime the vehi-
cle is starte daslong as the malfunction
exists.
Whe nthe malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMSm alfunc-
tions may occur for avariety of reasons,
including the mounting of incompatible
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMSf rom func-
tioning properly. Alway scheck the TPMSm al-
function telltal eafterreplacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMStoc ontinuetofunction prop-
erly.
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to the recommende dcold tire pressure
suitabl efor the operating conditions
(
Ypage 270).
Note that the correct tire pressure for the cur-
rent operating conditions mus tfirs tb ep ro-
gramed into the tire pressure monitor. If there is

Restarting the tir epressure monitor
General notes
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamp goes out. The monitor uses the
currently set tire pressures as the referenc eval-
ues for monitoring. In most cases, the tire pres-
sure monitor will automatically detec tthe new
referenc evalues after you have changed the tire
pressures. However,y ou can also define refer-
enc evalues manually as described here. The tire
pressure monitor then monitors the new tire
pressure values.
