You can't check the actual numeric value from the dash. You have to set the pressure the way you want it in all 4 tires manually, then you reset the Tire Pressure Monitor. Then it'll tell you when your pressure is off from your last reset/preset - although I'm not sure what the parameters are (percentage off or actual # psi off).

I just got my C63 yesterday and the y told me that is very important to take it for the differential fluid change at 2000 miles.

Anyone that waits 10k miles to change oil in a 6.3l 450HP V8 engine has defiantly been played good by MB. Do an oil analysis at 10k miles and youll see what im talking about.
My moms 3l V6 engine in her ML ate up a rod bearing, punched the rod through the crankcase and completely destroyed the engine at 80k miles. Why? Because she fallowed the MB service schedule religiously...causing oil to gunk up and starving the rod bearings of lubrication.
I dont care what MB says, there is no synthetic "high milage" oil out there that can last 10k miles, and defiantly not in a 6 liter V8 engine.
Do your engines some good and change the oil every 5k miles. I dont know what MB is trying to pull with these service intervals, but I find it highly strange that a lot of MB engines are giving out RIGHT after their warrenty has expired. Seems like MB has timed everything just right with those intervals.

+1 I would go one step further and do an oil change right after break in, with an oil analysis. Then change again at 2500, and another oil analysis. Depending on the results/trend, you could then work your way up to 5,000 miles, but definitely not more than that.

my service guy tried to tell me that ALL AMGs get the diff flushed at 1k. i read the owners manual and of course like posted above that is only for the Perf Pkg with the limited slip. i dont have the limited slip. i will probably change my oil around 5k, just to be safe. might do it at 1k who knows.
