No TPMS display?
Am I retarded, or is it Mercedes? I've been through all the displays, and read the owners manual. Can't seem to find a display for TPMS pressures anywhere? I can't imagine a high end new vehicle like this couldn't do something simple like tell you what the tire pressures are.

Scroll left or right to the service "Serv" menu, then scroll down to Tire Pressure and press OK. Prompts are on the screen like resetting the psi level after airing up tires.

Yup, found all the resetting prompts. Sounds like you're confirming what I am finding, that there is no TPMS readout on this vehicle.

There is a TPMS readout, but I believe you have to be moving...
When you are not moving, it defaults to the TPMS re-set screen.
My car has a readout of how many PSI at each tire. And it is located where GLEJohn told you to look.
Also, you can see how to get to the readout in the owners manual.

If you see a reset message, you do have tire pressure monitoring because that is what the message refers to. Moving to see psi values will also be a message on the front display. Check out one video I found online that should help.

Oh I'm well aware my vehicle has TPMS. I'm simply trying to get the pressures displayed on the dash. There is no message about moving to display pressures, and the video here is definitely not how it works, and as mentioned there is nothing in the owners manual about displaying pressures either. I see the video is from 2014, so perhaps this is something they changed at a certain MY? I have a 2019 GLE400.
Wife came out to find a message about a low tire being detected, but she couldn't find the pressures anywhere, which she has never had a problem finding on any other vehicle. I confirmed with a manual gauge that a tire was in fact low, and found a nail puncture creating a slow leak. I looked myself and couldn't find a digital tire pressure readout either, consulted the manual which does not make mention of a tire pressure display. I'm a mechanic, I'm pretty confident in my ability to find the TPMS display if one exists. So either Mercedes did a great job hiding it on these newer models, or they removed it entirely and changed it to just a dummy light.

Yes I think it has been well determined that is how a 2016MY TPMS functions. Who knows maybe mine has some ****ed up issue? It's going in for the front end clunk anyway, maybe I'll tell them to investigate the TPMS not having a display too.

I don't think the procedure is just for my car or just for the 2016 model year. The video posted above was from 2014. The procedure should be the same for all W166 models from 2012 to 2019. If your visit to the dealer finds otherwise we are all anxious to find out.
