If the engine symbol appears on the dashboard of a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC with a message about "Run Flat Tyre Inoperative," it means the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is malfunctioning or unable to detect tire pressures properly. This could be due to a failure in the system, interference from radio signals, or newly installed wheels or sensors that need time to be recognized. Check the tire pressures manually and inspect for any visible damage. If the issue persists, have the system inspected by a professional.
