After adjusting the tyre pressures or changing a wheel on your Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206 (2021–present), you store the new values as the reference through the MBUX menu. Here’s how to clear the tyre-pressure warning.
Set the Pressures First
Park on level ground and inflate all four tyres cold to the figure on the driver’s door-pillar label, then store the reference.
How to Reset the W206 TPMS
- Adjust the pressures, then switch the ignition on.
- On the MBUX touchscreen (or the instrument-cluster menu via the steering-wheel controls), open ‘Vehicle’.
- Go to ‘Tyre pressure’ and select ‘Restart’ / ‘Confirm tyre pressures’.
- Confirm — the system stores the new pressures as the reference and begins monitoring against them.
The warning then clears once the car has confirmed the readings while driving.
If the Light Stays On
- Re-check every tyre — one low corner keeps the warning on.
- Always re-store after inflating or a wheel change — the system needs the new baseline.
- A persistent warning with a wheel/sensor symbol can mean a sensor fault and needs a tyre shop’s tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the tyre pressure light on a Mercedes C-Class W206?
Set the pressures, then in MBUX go to Vehicle → Tyre pressure and choose Restart/Confirm to store the new values.
Do I need a tool?
No — the W206 stores the reference from its own menu; a tool is only needed if a sensor was replaced.
Why does the light come on in cold weather?
Pressures drop as temperature falls. Top up to the label figure and re-store.
It came on after a wheel change — why?
The reference moved. Re-run the store so the new pressures become the baseline.
If a fault code is stored, look it up on autodtcs.com. To clear a service reminder, see our W206 service reset.
