Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X Let the tyre inflation compressor run for a
maximum of te nminutes. The tyre should
the nhave a pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar) (maximum
350 kPa (3.5 bar)).
Switch the tyre inflation compressor off
briefly to read the correct value from pres-
sure gauge 0013.
! Do not operate the tyre inflation com-
pressor for longer than ten minutes at a
time without a break .Itmay otherwise
overheat.
The tyre inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar) is not
reached after ten minutes:
X Switch off and disconnect the tyre inflation
compressor and drive the vehicle forwards
or backwards approximately 10 m.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
X Leave TIREFIT fille rbottle 0001attached to
the flange.
X Pump up the tyre again. G
Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure is less than 130 kPa
(1.3 bar), the tyre is too severely damaged. Do
not drive any further. Consult a qualified spe-
cialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. If the tyre pressure is at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar):

flange 000D.
X Stow the TIREFIT kit in a safe and accessi-
ble place in the vehicle.
X Pull away immediately.
! After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This could cause stains. G
Risk of accident
The vehicle's handling characteristics may be
affected if you drive with a tyre that is inflated
with TIREFIT. This could cause an accident.
Therefore, do not exceed amaximum speed
of 80 km/h.
Affix th e"max. 80 km/h" sticker within the
driver's field of vision.
X Stop after driving for approximately three
kilometres or ten minutes and check the
tyre pressure using the tyre inflation com-
pressor.
i On tyres that are equipped with a tyre
pressure sensor (tyre pressure monitor),
the use of sealant can leadt o error mes-
sages and incorrect displays. Therefore,
use pressure gauge 0013in the TIREFIT kit to
check and correct the tyre pressure. G
Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure is less than 130 kPa
(1.3 bar), the tyre is too severely damaged. Do
not drive any further. Consult a qualified spe-
cialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out 328
