is turned off.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-
board voltage does not drop too low. If the
on-board voltage is too low, power to the
sockets is automatically cut-off. This
ensures that there is sufficient power to
start the engine. Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures
down to -20 †. G
Risk of accident
In the following cases your safety is especially
endangered, as tyre sealant is insufficient if:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm.
R the wheel rim is damaged.
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. X
Do not remove any foreign objects which
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails.
X Remove the TIREFIT kit, the accompanying
"max. 80 km/h" sticker and the electric air
pump from the stowage well underneath
the luggage compartment floor
(Y page 209). X

er's field of vision.
X Affix part ;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 thoroughly
with clean water.
R Change out of clothing which has come into
contact with TIREFIT immediately.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, consult a doc-
tor immediately.
Keep TIREFIT away from children.
R If TIREFIT is swallowed, immediately rinse
your mouth out thoroughly and drink plenty
of water.

Low outside temperatures
AdBlue
®
freezes at a temperature of approx-
imately –11 †. The vehicle is equipped with
an AdBlue ®
preheating system at the factory.
Winter operation is therefore also guaranteed
at temperatures below –11 †.
Special additives !
Only use AdBlue ®
compliant with
ISO 22241. Do not add any special addi-
tives to AdBlue ®
and do not dilute it with
water. Doing so may destroy the BlueTEC
exhaust gas aftertreatment system.
Damage resulting from the use of such
additives or from water is not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz implied warranty.
Purity The purity of AdBlue
®
is particularly important
for avoiding malfunctions in the exhaust gas
aftertreatment system.
If AdBlue ®
is pumped out of the AdBlue ®
tank,
e.g. during repair work, it must not be
returned to the tank as the purity of the fluid
can no longer be guaranteed.
! Impurities in AdBlue ®
(e.g. due to other
service products, cleaning agents or dust) lead to increased emission values, system
malfunctions, catalytic converter damage
or damage to the BlueTEC system. Vehicle model Total capacity of
the AdBlue ®
