How to reset the tire pressure on a Mercedes-Benz B200?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz B200 tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound, then release. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, the system will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. At this point, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, only replacement with a new part is the solution.
For the tire pressure reset operation of the Mercedes-Benz B200, as an experienced driver who frequently drives this model, I find it quite straightforward. The key is to ensure the vehicle is in a parked state with the engine off but the ignition on. Then, use the control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle settings menu, locate the tire pressure monitoring system section, and select the recalibration or reset option. After confirmation, the system will begin the reset process. Subsequently, you need to drive for a certain distance, such as over 15 minutes, to allow the system to automatically learn the new tire pressure values. I recommend developing a habit of regularly checking tire pressure, especially during seasonal changes, to measure cold tire pressure and ensure it falls within the 2.4-2.8 bar range. Pressure that’s too low or too high can easily trigger an alarm. If the warning light remains on after resetting, it might indicate uneven actual tire pressure or possible damage, necessitating an early visit to a service center to avoid safety hazards. After all, incorrect tire pressure can affect braking performance and fuel consumption.
