Where is the tire pressure reset button for the Mercedes-Benz R-Class?
3 Answers
On the left side of the dashboard, you can find the reset button. Below is an introduction to the Mercedes-Benz R-Class: 1. Engine: The R-350 all-wheel drive proves that under the gentlemanly exterior, explosive power can be unleashed at any time. The 4-valve V6 engine equipped in this car features continuous variable camshaft timing, with a rated power of 200 kW/272 hp, making it the most powerful in its class. It offers excellent power levels, acceleration performance, and top-tier cruising performance, while its low fuel consumption is also very satisfactory. 2. Interior Space: A brand-new design concept makes the Grand-Sports-Tourer (GST) exceptionally spacious: Unlike traditional three-box sedans (engine compartment—passenger compartment—trunk), the new R-Class Grand Sports Tourer is designed based on the engine—passenger compartment two-box concept.
When I previously worked on Mercedes-Benz vehicle maintenance, the tire pressure reset button for the Mercedes R-Class was usually located on the button panel below the left side of the steering wheel, near the area above the driver's knee. You'll see several icon buttons—just look for the one shaped like a tire. To operate it, first turn on the ignition without starting the engine. After pressing the reset button, a menu will pop up on the dashboard. Use the steering wheel control buttons to select the tire pressure reset and confirm. After resetting, the system will recalibrate the tire pressure sensors, which can resolve the issue of the tire pressure warning light being on. A reminder: Before resetting, use a tire pressure gauge to check if each tire's pressure meets the standard, such as around 35 psi, otherwise the reset will be invalid and you'll have to repeat the process. Low tire pressure increases braking distance, fuel consumption, and even the risk of a blowout, so perform a reset and maintenance every quarter or before long trips to ensure smooth and safe driving. In short, the location is fixed and the operation isn’t difficult, but don’t overlook the details.
I've been driving a Mercedes R-Class for several years and have dealt with tire pressure issues myself. The reset button is located below the left side of the steering wheel, mixed in with the window buttons. Just look down and you'll find the tire icon button. The actual operation is quite simple: sit in the car, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, press the button or enter the menu to select tire pressure reset and confirm. Sometimes the warning light will go off after driving a few hundred meters. After resetting, don't forget to check if the tire pressure is even. Using a simple pressure gauge to manually measure it saves money and hassle. With proper pressure, the car runs smoothly and fuel consumption decreases. This method has saved me several repair bills, especially during rainy or snowy days when tire pressure is crucial—don't take it lightly. The location and steps are also mentioned in the manual, but figuring it out yourself is more practical. Develop a habit of regular checks, like once a month, to ensure the pressure is within the safe range and worry-free.
