Assembly line mistake?
I recently took delivery of a new ML63AMG. I just found out to my dismay that the car does not have a built in low tyre pressure sensor which all ML should have as standard. I do not mean TPMS but the standard low pressure sensor. You cannot even see that option in the command system on the dashboard.
I found this out the hard way when one of my tyres went completely flat and beyond repair. I took it to the stealership and they were also speechless. I checked my sales contract and the item is clearly listed there! Does anyone else have this problem?

Sorry about that. Im in the same boat as you. Which country are you in? The reason I ask is that the TPMS is supposed to be standard but for some countries it needs prior frequency approval before being installed in vehicles for those countries.
Then to make things worse, the ML63 can't have the standard ESP based low tyre pressure warning system due to standard fitment of the active curve system, which will interfere with its proper operation.

Mine is in the display in front of the driver - not the central display. You have to move along the options until you get to one with the tire pressure monitor.
On the other hand, mine comes to front if a tire is low.
What country are you located?

Do u mean you have low tyre sensor in the display in front of the driver? I do not have it. That's what surprised me and the tech at the dealer. I am in Hong Kong. If you have it, there is no reason I do not have it, active curve system or not. Yours is 2012 ML63?

TPMS is supposed to be standard on the ML63 because the low pressure warning system, that usually is controlled via the ESP is not possible with Active Curve. You can't choose it (TPMS) as it should be standard. However, if your country MB general distributor hasn't gotten the frequency clearance from your local government, then the manufacturer, won't install it. That is as far as I've found out so far.

I don't think I have Low Tyre Pressure Warnings nor TPMS on my Australian Delivered 2013 ML63.
EDIT 12 March 2014: I DO have the TPMS on my ML63..... as it told me to top up the Air recently, which I did and the message went away.
