Mercedes-Benz is installed on the tire valve. Tire pressures that are too low have a negative effect on vehicle safety, which could lead you to cause an accident.
Page 253 Make sure that the tire pressure for normal speeds is adopted again. Additional specifications of tire pressure values for loads can also be found on the tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel filler flap. Observe the following for the tire pressure on the spare wheel: the tire and loading information table on the B-pillar on the driver's side.

Tire pressure Overinflation Warning Follow recommended tire inflation pressures. Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can adversely affect handling and ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping distance, and result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes etc.
Page 255: Tire Pressure Monitor
Check the tire pressures at least once a month. Only check and correct tire pressures when the tires are cold ( page 249). Checking the tire pressure manually To determine and set the correct tire pressure, proceed as follows: Remove the valve cap of the tire that is to be checked.
Page 256 Tire pressure pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
