How do you check Mercedes’s tire pressure?
You will need a tire pressure gauge to properly check.
Remove the small cap from the valve stem, then place your tire pressure gauge on it.
If you are using a mechanical gauge, a shaft will slide out, showing the pressure reading. On electrical gauges, tire pressure will be displayed on a small screen.
How do I add more air to my tires?
- Insert the inflator on the valve stem
- Depending on the pump you are using, you will either have to enter the proper pressure beforehand or keep an eye on the pressure gauge built into the pump.
- Once your tires are full, remove the inflator and put the cap back on your valve stem.
