Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

[JohnnyKOK]

Never knew I would use this function, as being a old driver, you will know if your tyre is flat. Saw this alert this morning, check physically, it look normal, but good that this alert prompt me to check in details. Found a nail and patched before running flat

RFT sidewall is stiffer. So you will not see any significant physical deflation signs until too late. 

Your tire warning diagram looks diffrent from the usual running 3D car model TPMS display. Is that right? 

[JohnnyKOK]

Dunno, as I never have TPMS in my previous ride

Is it standard equipment in GLC or optional? 

[JohnnyKOK]

Standard for my GLC Coupe

all merc from 2006 (s class) and 2009 (the rest) are equipped with this

From what I read, TPMS in overseas GLC has 2 versions

1) TPMS with sensors installed in all 4 wheels that will show individual tire pressure readings on the car display. 

2) TPMS without physical wheel sensors. It reads off rotational differences via ABS sensors. Will not have individual tire pressure display. Will only warn you to check your tires if it detects sudden change in single tire pressure relative to the other 3.
