Mercedes-Benz Tire Pressure Guidelines

What should your tire pressure be? If you need to find the correct Mercedes-Benz tire pressure recommendations, all you need to do is look on the inside of your fuel door. Although the brand’s tire pressure guidelines are calibrated to the unique characteristics of your vehicle, the vast majority of cars, SUVs, and light trucks perform best when their tire pressure falls between 32 and 35 PSI. Even so, you should always check your fuel door to be certain.

How to Check Your Tire Pressure

Drivers who own a tire pressure gauge can ensure that their Mercedes-Benz has correct tire pressure by inserting the gauge into the valve stem. If you don’t have a gauge on hand, you can pick one up at our parts department in Warwick, just a short drive from Providence.

However, in most cases, this step won’t be necessary. You can be sure that your Mercedes-Benz has correct tire pressure by deferring to the guidelines of your Tire Pressure Monitoring System, or TPMS. You’ll receive a warning on your dashboard if one or more of your tires has fallen below the recommended level. Just remember that this system also tracks the pressure for your spare.  If you can’t figure out why your tire pressure light is on, schedule service and let us take a look.

When is the Best Time to Check Your Tire Pressure?

Whether you’re checking your tires by hand or you’re interpreting the recommendations of your Mercedes-Benz Tire Pressure Monitoring System, it’s important to be clear about the best time to perform the check:

• Since cold weather can cause the air in your tires to contract, your reading might be lower than it should be when winter arrives in East Greenwich or Cranston.
• For the same reason, the best time to check your tire pressure is before you start to drive the vehicle. Driving heats up the air in your tires and causes it to expand, which may cause your tires to look full even if they’re running low on air.
