Using th eTIREFIT 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 situations, your safety is at
particular risk and tyre sealant is unable to
provide breakdown assistance if:
R ther eare cuts or punctures in th etyre
greater than 4mm
R the whee lrim is damaged
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on aflat tyre
Do not drive any fur ther. Consult aqualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledg eand tool stocarry out
the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centr efor this pur-
pose. In particular ,work relevant to safet yor
on safety-related system smust be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
X Do not remov eany foreig nobjects which
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screw sor
nails.
X Remove the TIREFI Tkit,t he accompanying

Risk of accident
If after fiv eminutes apressure of 180 kPa
(1 8 bar/26 psi) cannot be achieved ,the tyre
is too severel ydamaged.
Do not drive any further. Consult aqualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary

psi) is reached X
Press the on/off switch on the electric air
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X Remove the TIREFIT kit from the wheel. G
Warning
The air hos emay still be hot. Exercise proper
cautio ntoavoidb urning yourself when
detaching the electric air pump.
! After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This may cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hos einthe plastic
bag whic hcontaine dthe TIREFIT kit.
X Stow away the TIREFIT kit ,the electric air
pum pand the warning triangle.
X Pull away immediately. G
Risk of accident
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h.
The "max. 80 km/h" labe lmust be affixed in
the driver's field of vision.
The vehicle's handling characteristics may be
affected.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump. G
Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure is less than 130 kPa
(1.3 bar/26 psi), the tyre is too severely dam-
aged. Do not drive any further. Consult a
qualified specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledg eand tool sto
carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz

X Place the jack to one side. X
Tighten the whee lbolts evenly in across-
wis epattern in the sequence indicated

Risk of accident
Have the tightening torque checked immedi-
ately after awheel is changed. The wheels
coul dwork loose if they are not tightened to
at orqu eof130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initia lposition and
stor eitt ogether with the rest of the vehicle
tool kit in the stowage well under the boot
floor.
X AM Gvehicles and vehicles with AMG
equipment: whenafront whee lhas been
changed, insert the cover into the outer sill.
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel:
X Transport the faulty wheel in the boot.
i When you are driving with the emergency
spare wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning system cannot function reliably.
Only restart the tyre pressure loss warning
system when the defective wheel has been
replaced with
anew wheel. MOExtended run-
flat system
Th eM OEx tended run-flat system allo wsyou
to continue driving the vehicle even when one
or more tyres los eall air pressure.
The MOExtended run-flat system may only be
used in conjunction with the activated tyre
pressure loss warnin gsystem or with the acti-
vated tyre pressure monitor.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode depends on the
load in the vehicle. It is 80 km if the vehicle
is partially laden and 30 km if fully laden.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from
the moment the tyre pressure los swarning
appears in the multifunction displ ay.
Yo um ust not exceed amaximum spee dof
80 km/h. G
Ris
kofa ccident
The handling characteristics of your vehicle
deteriorate in run-flat mode, for example:
R when cornering
R when braking
R when accelerating rapidly
Adapt your driving style accordingly and avoid
sudden changes in direction and sudden
acceleration, as well as driving over obstacles
(i.e. kerbs, potholes), and driving off-road.
This is particularly the case when the vehicle
is heavily laden.
The maximum permissible distance that can
be driven in run-flat mode depends to alarge
exten tonthe loads placed on the vehicle. It
can be shorter due to high speeds, aheavy
load, sudden changes in direction, the road
surface condition, outside temperature, etc.,
or further if you driv ecarefully and conserva-
tively. 284
