Tire Pressure Monitoring system
Can anyone tell me if the tire pressure monitoring system is standard on the '06 211? I have a 2006 E500 and cannot tell if my vehicle is equiped with this feature. Was is standard or an option?
Thanks.
Thanks.

TPMS Question
Is the tire pressure that is displayed in the center of the speedo always an up to the minute current tire pressure? Or is it a display of the tire pressure the last time the TPMS system was last activated? (Does "activate" really mean "Check my Tire pressure right now at this moment and display that reading on the dash until the next time I want to check/activate it".)
I do not think it is an all the time current reading or there would be no reason to "activate" it to know what your tire pressure currently is.

Activation clears old tire pressure specifications and stores new tire pressure values for each wheel – tires are rotated, winter tires are mounted, etc. Tire service, before mounting tire check date stamp on sensor and replace sensor if over 5 years old.
To answer your question, TPC constantly monitors tire pressure - normal transmission intervals measure once every 3 seconds, transmit once every 55 seconds.

TPC was offered as an individual option up till 05 and discontinued in 06 and not in the 07 for the w211. However, LPW is standard on the 06 CLS, go figure.

in case anyone wants to know, the LPW system uses the current ABS sensors in the car and measures the rotational force differences between the wheels and warns if they are not even. It will not tell you how much the exact pressure is or which wheel is low but will give a warning in the IC showing that a tire is low.
