What is the reason for the Mercedes-Benz C200L run-flat tire system stopping operation?

If the Mercedes-Benz C200L run-flat tire system stops operating, you can check the tire pressure, as it may be due to low air pressure in one of the tires. Related information: 1. Introduction: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. There is a standard tire pressure indicator on the rear end of the driver's side door, which indicates the pressure when the tires are cold, i.e., after the car has been parked for at least three hours or driven no more than 1.6 km. The tire pressure is most accurate when measured with cold tires. 2. Model: C200-Kompressor (supercharged type), facing challenges head-on, the belt-driven supercharger significantly increases the vehicle's power and torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes only 9.4 seconds, with a top speed of up to 231 km/h.
My Mercedes-Benz C200L also displayed the 'Run-Flat Indicator Malfunction' warning some time ago. After inspection, it was found to be mainly caused by a faulty tire pressure sensor, likely due to either depleted sensor battery or physical damage from road debris. The warning can also be triggered if the system isn't reset after tire repair or when using non-OEM replacement tires. The tire's physical condition is equally critical - sidewall cuts or excessive wear may disable the run-flat functionality. Additionally, loose wheel installation causing minor air leaks or sensor signal interruption can activate the alert. I recommend using a diagnostic scanner to read trouble codes first. Replace sensors if faulty, or recalibrate the TPMS system for pressure issues. Never ignore this warning, as it eliminates your safety buffer in case of a puncture.
