It's on because one of your wheels is either low on pressure or one of the sensors has finally died. The only way to shut the light off is by replacing the sensor. If you replace the sensor you should replace all four at the same time.
If you replace just one sensor the remaining 3 will fail consecutively and you will just waste time and money getting each wheel remounted and rebalanced.

That's correct. The TPMS on the W204 does not need any programming to be recognized by the vehicle. You simply install them then drive, after a few mins/miles the car learns each sensor on it's own.

And just to add my $0.10 because I don't know where you are - as far as I know, USA C-series cars have TPS inside the tires and Canadian cars don't - they monitor wheel revs via the ABS system and don't monitor actual pressures.
They way to tell - if you car has metal valve stems it's a TPS. If it has a rubber stem, it doesn't.

Agreed... Replacing all 4 TPMS sensors plus having to pay for removing old sensors and installing new sensors would be an expensive fix for just having low air in one tire.
Much cheaper to get 1 @ $36.95 or 4 @ $36.95 X 4 = $147.80 from this Amazon Seller:
