What does it mean when Mercedes-Benz detects tire pressure loss?
1 Answers
When the tire pressure check warning appears on a Mercedes-Benz, it indicates there may be an issue with the tire pressure. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be slightly increased by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure in Mercedes-Benz vehicles: Abnormal tire pressure: The system will usually alert when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring system not reset: If the tire pressure is not reset after inflating the tires, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring system to resolve this issue. 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 trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
