What is the method for resetting tire pressure on a Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

Mercedes-Benz C-Class tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "ding" sound, release the button. 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, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, such as by hitting an obstacle, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
I used to drive a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and one time the tire pressure warning light came on for no apparent reason. Learning how to reset it was quite useful. After parking and turning off the car, start the engine but don't drive. Use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the dashboard menu, scroll up or down to the settings icon, and press enter to access it. Inside, there should be a tire pressure monitoring option. Select it to find the tire pressure reset function, then confirm. After resetting, it's best to drive for about ten minutes to let the system self-check and avoid false alarms. Before daily driving, I make it a habit to check the tire pressure values displayed on the dashboard. Generally, the standard when the car is cold is between 2.2 to 2.5 bar. If the alarm persists after resetting, there might be an actual leak, and it's necessary to visit a repair shop to check the tires. Regular maintenance can save a lot of hassle; I check the tire pressure once a month.
