Flat tire<br />

Warning! G<br />

If a tire inflation pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar)<br />

is not attained, tire is too severely damaged<br />

for TIREFIT to provide a reliable tire repair.<br />

In this case, TIREFIT cannot properly seal<br />

the tire.<br />

Do not drive the vehicle.<br />

Contact the nearest <strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> Center<br />

or call Roadside Assistance.<br />

After attaining a tire inflation pressure<br />

of 26 psi (1.8 bar), press 0 on electric<br />

air pump switch 8.<br />

The electric air pump should now be<br />

switched off.<br />

Turn the SmartKey in the ignition to<br />

position 0 ( page 40).<br />

Detach the electric air pump.<br />

The air hose may still be hot. Please exercise<br />

appropriate caution.<br />

354<br />

Store the electrical plug and the air<br />

hose behind the flap and place the air<br />

pump back in the trunk.<br />

Close the trunk lid.<br />

Drive away immediately.<br />

The TIREFIT sealant will distribute itself<br />

evenly inside the tire.<br />

Warning! G<br />

Do not exceed vehicle speed of<br />

50 mph (80 km/h). A TIREFIT repair is not<br />

designed to operate at higher speeds.<br />

The sticker must be attached on the instrument<br />

cluster where it will be easily seen by<br />

the driver.<br />

Vehicle handling characteristics may<br />

change. Adapt your driving accordingly.<br />

After driving vehicle for an initial<br />

10 minutes, check tire inflation pressure<br />

using the pressure gauge on the<br />

air pump.<br />

Warning! G<br />

If tire inflation pressure has fallen below<br />

20 psi (1.3 bar), do not continue to drive the<br />

vehicle.<br />

Park your vehicle safely away from the roadway<br />

and contact the nearest authorized<br />

<strong>Mercedes</strong>-<strong>Benz</strong> Center or Roadside<br />

Assistance.<br />

If tire inflation pressure is at least<br />

20 psi (1.3 bar), inflate tire to correct pressure<br />

(see placards on driver’s door B-pillar<br />

or on fuel filler flap), and drive vehicle to<br />

nearest tire repair facility to have tire repaired<br />

or replaced.<br />

Recommended duration of use:<br />

300 miles (500 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h)<br />

with the recommended tire inflation<br />

pressure.
