Where to check tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz E300?
2 Answers
For the Mercedes-Benz E300, tire pressure information can be viewed in the tire pressure check module located in the center of the dashboard. 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: Tire pressure abnormality: The system will alert if the pressure is generally below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it will also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.
When I drive my Mercedes-Benz E300, checking the tire pressure is quite convenient, mainly displayed on the dashboard. After starting the engine and activating the dashboard, use the directional buttons on the left or right side of the steering wheel to scroll through the static menu and find the option called 'Vehicle Status' or 'Trip Data.' Once you enter this section, you'll see the specific pressure values for each tire, usually displayed in bar or psi. Mercedes' tire pressure monitoring system is very intelligent, capable of tracking tire conditions in real-time. If the pressure in any tire is low, the system will automatically illuminate a yellow warning light to alert you. Maintaining the recommended tire pressure is crucial—too high or too low can affect driving safety. Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption, accelerates tire wear, and may even lead to a blowout. The recommended tire pressure values are listed on a small label under the driver's side door frame, typically around 32 to 35 psi. I check it once a week, and once it becomes a habit, driving feels much more reassuring.
