Flat tyre
318 Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden
blocks or similar as jacking supports. Oth-
erwise, the jack will not be able to achieve
its load-bearing capacity due to the restric-
ted height.
Do 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/tailgate is opened or closed)
and you could sustain serious injuries. 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/luggage compartment floor
(Y page 254). 1

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.
If you get TIREFIT on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene. G
Risk of injury
Comply with the manufacturer's safety
instructions shown on the sticker on the
electric air pump. i
Your vehicle may be equipped with one of
two different air pumps. Version 1 can be
identified by the flap, behind which the
hose with the pressure gauge and cable are
located; version 2 has a pressure gauge
integrated in the electric air pump.

X Turn the key to position 1(Y page 76) in
the ignition lock. X
Press on/off switch 4on the electric air
pump to I.
The electric air pump is switched on. The
tyre is inflated.
i First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tyre. The
pressure can briefly rise to around 5 bar.
Do not switch off the electric pump dur-
ing this phase.
X Let the electric pump run for five minutes.
The tyre should then have a pressure of at
least 1.8 bar.
! Do not operate the electric air pump for
longer than six minutes without a break.
Otherwise, it may overheat.
The air pump can be operated again once
it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached after
five minutes:
X Switch off and disconnect the electric air
pump and drive the vehicle forwards or
backwards approximately 10 m.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
X Remove TIREFIT filler bottle 1from the
electric pump.
X Pump up the tyre again. G
Risk of accident
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not achieved after
five minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged.
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 rec-
ommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose. In particu-
lar, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
If a tyre pressure of 1.8 bar is reached:
X Press on/off switch 4on the electric air
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X Disconnect the electric air pump and stow
it away.
X Fold up the warning triangle and stow it
away.
X Pull away immediately.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly
around the tyre.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump. Practical advice
