These instructions apply to the Mercedes Sprinter Mk3 (W907/W910) 2018-Present.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
The Sprinter’s tyre-pressure monitor reads each wheel’s pressure and temperature and warns you with a display message and the yellow tyre lamp. After you adjust the pressures or swap wheels, restart the system through the on-board computer so it learns the new reference values.
- Set every tyre to the correct cold pressure for the load, following the placard in the driver’s door aperture. Only reset once all four pressures are correct.
- Switch the van on.
- Open the on-board computer’s Service menu and select “Tyres” (Banden). The cluster shows the current per-wheel pressures, plus temperature on the colour display.
- Scroll down in the Tyres menu until the prompt “Adopt current tyre pressure as new reference value?” appears.
- Confirm the prompt. The cluster shows “Tyre-pressure monitor restarted”, any current warnings clear and the yellow tyre lamp goes out.
- Drive for a few minutes. The system checks the live pressures and adopts them as the new reference values.
Good to know
New sensors, such as those in a second set of winter wheels, are learned automatically the first time you drive on them, so no separate coding is needed.
The pressures shown in the cluster can differ from a handheld gauge because gauges read against sea-level pressure. At altitude a gauge reads higher than the true value, so always inflate down to the placard figure rather than the gauge reading.
On 3.0 t and 3.5 t vans, switching between 245/65 R17 XL tyres and the other approved sizes needs the monitor’s pressure range re-coded by a Mercedes workshop.
FAQ
How do I reset the Sprinter tyre pressure warning?
Open the on-board computer’s Service menu, select Tyres, scroll down to “Adopt current tyre pressure as new reference value?” and confirm it. The warning clears and the yellow lamp goes out.
Do I need a tool to reset it?
No. The reset is entirely in the cluster’s on-board computer menu, so no diagnostic tool or workshop visit is required for a standard reset.
Why is the tyre light still on after I inflated the tyres?
Inflating alone does not clear it. You must run the reset in the Tyres menu to adopt the new pressures as the reference, then drive for a few minutes so the system re-checks them.
Do new tyre sensors need coding?
No, new sensors are learned automatically on first use. The only exception is changing to or from 245/65 R17 tyres on 3.0 t / 3.5 t vans, which needs a workshop to re-code the pressure range.
