How to reset Mercedes tire pressure sensor

To reset the tire pressure sensor on a Mercedes-Benz, follow these detailed steps. The procedure may vary slightly depending on the model and year of the vehicle, but the general process is as follows:

1. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure: Before resetting the sensor, ensure that all tires are properly inflated to the manufacturer-recommended pressure. You can find the recommended pressure on the inside of the driver’s side door or in the owner’s manual.

2. Start the Vehicle: Turn on the ignition without driving the car; keep the vehicle in park.

3. Access the Vehicle Menu:

   • Use the steering wheel controls or the center console knob to navigate to the main menu on the central display or instrument cluster.
   • Locate and select “Service” or “Vehicle Settings.”

4. Select “Tire Pressure Monitor”:

   • Choose the option related to the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
   • Find the selection for “Restart TPMS” or “Reset Tire Pressure.”

5. Confirm Reset:

   • The system will prompt you to confirm the action. Select “Yes” or “Confirm” to initiate the reset process.

6. Drive for Calibration: After initiating the reset, you may need to drive the vehicle for about 10–20 minutes for the system to calibrate and update the tire pressure readings.

Important Notes:

• If the tire pressure warning light remains on after the reset, check the actual tire pressures again or inspect for any tire issues.
• Some Mercedes-Benz models may require a diagnostic tool or special equipment to reset the TPMS.
• Refer to the vehicle’s user manual or consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz service center for model-specific guidance.

These steps apply to most modern Mercedes-Benz models, such as the C-Class, E-Class, GLC, etc. Always refer to your specific vehicle’s instructions or seek professional assistance if needed.
