Monitoring tire pressure using the AMG steering wheel controls is a convenient feature available in some AMG models. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) can provide real-time tire pressure information, and through the steering wheel, you can access and check these readings without having to navigate through the car's infotainment system.

Here’s how you can monitor tire pressure using AMG steering wheel controls:

1. Activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Display

To view tire pressure information through your AMG steering wheel, you’ll first need to ensure that the TPMS is activated and that the relevant display is available.

• Ensure the TPMS is Activated: The TPMS system is usually enabled by default in most AMG vehicles. If needed, you can check whether it’s active by navigating through the infotainment screen or vehicle settings (depending on your model).

2. Accessing Tire Pressure Information Using Steering Wheel Controls

On many AMG vehicles, the steering wheel controls are integrated with the instrument cluster display or the head-up display where tire pressure information can be shown.

Here’s how you can access this data:

Option 1: Using the Steering Wheel Buttons to Navigate the Display

1. Locate the Control Buttons on the Steering Wheel: The AMG steering wheel typically has buttons or scroll wheels on the left side of the wheel, often used to control the instrument cluster display or the driver information system. Look for buttons that allow you to cycle through menu options.
2. Cycle Through the Menu Options:
   • Press the scroll wheel or arrows to navigate through the on-screen options in the instrument cluster or head-up display.
   • Look for a menu option that says “Tire Pressure” or “Vehicle Information”. This will allow you to access the tire pressure data.
3. Display Tire Pressure: Once you reach the correct menu, the tire pressure readings for all four tires should appear on the screen. You will see individual readings for each tire, along with whether they are within the recommended pressure range.

Option 2: Using the Infotainment System (If Available)

In some AMG vehicles, you may also need to use the infotainment system in conjunction with the steering wheel controls to access tire pressure data.

1. Use the Steering Wheel Buttons to Access the Infotainment Screen:
   • Use the scroll wheel or arrows on the steering wheel to open the infotainment menu or vehicle settings.
   • Navigate to the vehicle settings or Tire Pressure Monitor section.
2. Select Tire Pressure Monitoring: Once the tire pressure menu appears on the infotainment screen, select it to view the real-time data for all four tires.

3. Monitor Tire Pressure Alerts

AMG vehicles with TPMS typically alert the driver if there is an issue with tire pressure, such as if a tire is underinflated. These alerts can appear on the instrument cluster, and in some cases, you might also feel a vibration in the steering wheel if the system detects a significant drop in pressure.

• Low Tire Pressure Warning: If any tire falls below the recommended pressure, a warning icon (often a flat tire symbol) will show on the display. This indicates that the tire needs to be inflated to the correct pressure.

4. Adjusting Settings and Alerts Using the Steering Wheel

Some AMG vehicles allow you to adjust the TPMS settings (such as sensitivity or the type of alerts) via the steering wheel controls:

• Adjust TPMS Sensitivity: You may be able to change how sensitive the system is to tire pressure changes by navigating through the settings using the steering wheel controls.
• Turn Off Tire Pressure Alerts (if needed): If you prefer to disable some notifications, you can do this through the vehicle's settings.

5. Reset the TPMS (If Required)

If you’ve recently had your tires inflated, changed, or rotated, you might need to reset the TPMS so it recalculates the baseline pressures. This can be done through the infotainment system or steering wheel controls:

• Steering Wheel Reset: Use the scroll wheel or buttons on the wheel to navigate to the reset option in the settings, and follow the on-screen instructions to reset the system.

Conclusion

To monitor tire pressure using AMG steering wheel controls, access the instrument cluster or infotainment system via the steering wheel buttons or scroll wheels, navigate to the tire pressure section, and view the real-time data for each tire. Additionally, the steering wheel may provide alerts or feedback if there are issues with tire pressure, helping you stay informed and address any concerns before they lead to more serious problems. Always ensure that the TPMS is functioning properly and reset it if needed after tire maintenance.
