Default "correct tire pressure" light?

On my 08 C300 Sport I noticed today it was saying "correct tire pressure" on the dash when i turned the car on. The nomal yellow TPMS tire pressure light isnt on when I drive though. Is the "correct tire pressure" on the dash normal and I just havent noticed it? I manually check the pressure and everything is at aout 35psi which is fine.

anyone else has seen this on their dash?

make sure there isnt much difference between the left side and right side tires. it uses wheel rotation speed to calculate tire pressure difference. you might want to bump up the pressures just a bit to help keep the warning off. you need to go to the dealer and have them lower the specified threshold value for the tire pressure monitor. then you will be ok.

Well the 08 C class does allow me to reset the monitor itself. I did that and Im hoping it goes away,

Hi I just got a C350 2008. The same thing is happening to me. When I pull in the garage only and go over a bump to get in, I am getting "correct tire pressure" did you ever find out what happened? I don't have time to deal w/ thisit only has 500 miles. The dealership is 2 hrs away. If it is a problem, I'll go but if not I don't want to waste time.How do youtest the tires? Is there an easy way? Thanks.
