Just to expand on/clarify this: Consumers in the USA are accustom to pressure readings being represented in PSI (pounds per square inch). Your guage incriments on this car are in "bars". One "bar" equals about 14.7 psi
So MB's minimum spec of .3 bar (needle would be 1/3 the distance between 0 and 1) is a little less than 5 psi.

Hope that helps.
