Tire Pressure Monitor/TPMS
Is TPMS standard or an option? I have a 2007 E550 with 4Matic and P2 and I can;t find the settings on the instrument cluster menus. Does this mean I have no TPMS? is this something that I can add?

TPMS was NOT available as an option in US Spec cars in 2007. Canadian cars had a rudimentary system (mandatory by Canadian Law) which ran off the ABS system which would alert the deiver that one of the tires was at a lower pressure than the others.
MB had tons of problems with their TPMS so they decontented it in 07 to better their JD Powers ratings. No crummy TPMS=no complaints. Before 07 it was an option. I had it in my '04. ...and it crapped out frequently.

Its a great thing to have. The more often you check your TPs, the better the handling and the longer the tire life. Its just the pre-'07 MB units broke all the time. Thats over now. They're good.

Once a month. I use a round dial guage with a brass stem. Buy a good one, keep it in the trunk right rear net compartment. Don't drop it. Be sure tires are cold.

No, actually TPMS is Federally required on all cars sold in USA from 2007 on.
I have two 2007s, but the one actually built in 10/2006 doesn't have TPMS and the one built in 2/2007 does.
We can all thank Ford Explorer/Firestone for this requirement.
