Flat tyre
277Do not start the engine at any time while
the wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise
the vehicle as described, it could slip off the
jack (e.g. if the engine is started or a door
or the boot lid are opened or closed) and
you could be seriously injured.
Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT in outdoor temperatures
down to -20 °C. G
Risk of accident
In the following situations, your safety is at
particular risk and TIREFIT is unable to pro-
vide breakdown assistance:
R if there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm
R if the wheel rim is damaged
R if you have driven at very low tyre pres-
sures or on a flat tyre
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces- sary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
X Do not remove any foreign objects which
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails.
X Remove TIREFIT, the accompanying "max.
80 km/h" sticker and the electric air pump
from the stowage well underneath the boot
floor ( Y page 217).1
Driver's field of vision sticker
2 Wheel sticker X
Affix part 1 of the sticker within the driv-
er's field of vision.
X Affix part 2 of the sticker near the valve
on the wheel with the defective tyre.
G Risk of injury
TIREFIT must not come into contact with
your skin, eyes or clothing.
R If TIREFIT comes into contact with your
eyes or skin, immediately rinse thor-
oughly with clean water.
R Change out of clothing which has come
into contact with TIREFIT immediately.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, consult a
doctor immediately.
Keep TIREFIT away from children.
R If TIREFIT is swallowed, immediately
rinse your mouth out thoroughly with
water and drink plenty of water.
R Do not induce vomiting. Consult a doctor
immediately.
R Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes.
i If TIREFIT leaks out, allow it to dry. It can
then be removed like a layer of film.

Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point. G
Risk of accident
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too
low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake
system when the brakes are applied hard
(e.g. when driving downhill). This would
impair braking efficiency. Have the brake fluid renewed every two
years with a brake fluid that has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz and have this
confirmed in the Service Booklet.
i There is usually a notice in the engine
compartment
to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due. Windscreen washer system
The washer fluid reservoir holds approxi-
mately 4.5 litres; on vehicles with the head-
lamp cleaning system* it holds 7 litres.
The headlamp cleaning system*
and the
windscreen washer system are both supplied
from the washer fluid reservoir.
