Tire Pressure Monitor

[johnharryman]

After a new tire fitted (potholes again) the tire pressure monitor was displayed showing pressures. However I cannot get the display to go away and therefore cannot have speed showing on display? What do I need to do?

Not sure about your car nor equipment fitted, but I suspect that you need to change the selected menu for the instrument cluster. Try pressing a home or return button on your steering wheel (if you have one).

I just had this problem on a CLS.. Not sure what your car is but I used the steering wheel buttons (on the rhs not the lhs as the manual states - which is written for lhd cars!) press the home button to see the System Menu. I had selected Service>Tyres to reset the baseline pressures. I thought the screen showing the pressures would revert by itself but you need to go back into the System menu and select (eg) Trip to display the Total and Trip miles or whatever other display you want.
I find the instrument display on current MB's very frustrating as there is no means of locking the display. An accidental brush of a hand on the home button can set you up with fuel consumption or lateral acceleration displays that you don't want but have to consult the manual again to get rid of.

Not sure of your set-up, but you usually have to choose 'set tyre-pressure' in the 'services' menu after changing or pumping up tyres. This then becomes the new reference point from which the car can guage any future loss in tyre pressure...
