First, ensure the key is turned to the second position. Use the left-hand menu button on the steering wheel to display the odometer interface on the dashboard. Then, press the up button on the left side of the steering wheel, followed by the (R) button on the dashboard. The dashboard will display 'Is the tire pressure normal?' Next, press the + button on the right side of the steering wheel and wait for 10 seconds before turning off the key. After restarting the vehicle, the tire pressure warning light should disappear.
I recently dealt with this issue, and resetting the tire pressure light on a Mercedes C260 requires specific steps. First, ensure all tires are inflated to the standard values, referring to the cold tire pressure label on the door frame. Then, start the ignition without moving the car. Navigate to the 'Vehicle' menu on the center display, open the 'Tire Pressure' option, and select 'Restart TPMS.' After confirming, the system will begin recalibration. Remember to drive at a steady speed for about 15 minutes to allow the sensors to relearn the tire data. If it doesn't succeed the first time, there might be a slow leak—check the tire walls and wheel rim edges with soapy water. For a more thorough solution, have a technician refresh the system during maintenance, as German cars' electronic systems are quite sensitive.
