Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Checking tire pressure electronically
► Make sure that the SmartKey is in position 2 in the ignition lock.
► Press and hold the
button on
the multifunction steering wheel until the
standard display appears in the
multifunction display.
► Press and hold the
button
until the current tire pressure of each tire
is shown in the multifunction display.
If the vehicle has been parked for longer than 20 minutes, the Tire pressure displayed after driving for several minutes message appears in the display.
After a teach-in period, the tire pressure monitor automatically recognizes new wheels or new sensors. If a clear allocation of the tire pressure values to the individual wheels is not possible, the Tire Pressure Monitor Active message is shown instead of the tire pressure display. The tire pressures are already being monitored.
If a spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
is mounted, the system may continue to
show the tire pressure of the wheel that has
been removed for a few minutes. If this
occurs, note that the value displayed for
the position where the spare tire is
mounted is not the same as the spare
wheel/emergency spare wheel's current
tire pressure.
Important safety notes

the vehicle's wheels have sensors that
monitor the tire pressures in all four tires. The
tire pressure monitor warns you when the
