Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Tire Pressure Light

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Tire Pressure Light service at Park Place Motorcars Arlington in Arlington, TX

Frequently asked questions
2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT shown

On the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or that the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault. The symbol is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. Park Place Motorcars Arlington in Arlington, TX, helps drivers identify whether the warning calls for air, a tire repair, or sensor attention. The inspection checks every monitored tire, evaluates each sensor signal and battery status, and looks for punctures or leaking valve stems. After tire or sensor work, the monitoring system can be relearned so the warning operates correctly.

Drivers can connect with Park Place Motorcars Arlington for Mercedes-Benz service at 4201 Beltway Pl, Arlington, TX 76018.

What the tire pressure light means on a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT

A steadily illuminated tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so the pressure should be set at the next stop. If the tires look fully inflated but the light remains on, the system still needs to be checked rather than judged by appearance alone. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays illuminated indicates a monitoring-system fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. The diagnosis separates a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement.

What the diagnosis covers at Park Place Motorcars Arlington

The tire pressure light service begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. Each tire-pressure sensor is scanned for its signal and battery status. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems, helping distinguish an air-loss concern from a monitoring-system concern. When tire or sensor work has been performed, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the monitored sensors. This process addresses a steady warning as well as a light that flashes at startup before remaining on. Drivers can schedule service at Park Place Motorcars Arlington for a complete tire-pressure and sensor check.
