my first flat w my C300
i left the dealership to get my ECU reset, fluid and tire pressure checked, and re sync my sunroof. On the way to my brothers apartment I always park in front of his apartment were i can see my car when i look out the window. 3 hours later i go to my car and get ready to head home then suddenly the red light came on saying low tire pressure i was like WTF! i can hear thumps near the front of the car and then when i pulled over my front right tire was flat. I can say Mercedes has an easy kit in the car to replace a flat tire and the doughnut was a full size tire. Took me about 10 min to do and then when i reached home I put air on the busted tire and found out that someone had to slash my tire bc on the side wall there is a cut about a inch wide.... lucky i have my rims and tires in the basement ready to be mounted.

Do people not realize that cars are less of a determining factor of class than they used to be? ![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)
Granted that 15-30 yrs back Mercedes was pretty much reserved for the elite, but with all these subsidies and incentives available, why buy a tahoe when you can get a gl for a comparable payment, for example?![drive](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)

My last car was a 04 F-150 STX w/ some nice options...(to my defense, I was living in Texas at the time..)
My tires were cut twice on the side on 2 different occasions, one in my apt parking lot and one is shopping center parking lot..
Besides cut tires...my car stereos were also stolen a copule of times..the stereos I have were not fancy too..
just about $150 middle of the rank kenwood brand mp3/cd stereos...
IMO, thieves should have one of their finger cut off each time they are caught and convicted...

i had to take the driver side front wheel to fix a curb rash ealier this month. didn't like the spare too much. it's only a doughnut and not a full size spare and the spare rim is also a two piece steel rim with few spot welds.

on the guage screen, use the right arrow button to move from TRIP --> AUDIO --> TELEPHONE --> TO SYSTEM.
scroll down to find tire pressure, press "OK" and it will ask whether or not you want to use your current pressure as the standard for tire pressure.
