You can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures
down to -2 0†. G
WARNING
In the followin gsituations ,your safety is at
particular risk as tyre sealant is unable to pro-
vide sufficient breakdown assistance:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4mm.
R the wheel rim is damaged.
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on aflat tyre.
Do not drive any further. Consult aqualified
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

at aq ualified specialist workshop.
X Do not remove any foreign object swhich
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails.
X Remove the tyre sealant bottle, the accom-
panying "max. 80 km/h" sticker and the
tyre inflation compressor from the stowage
well underneath the boot floor
(Y page 295). X
Affix part :of the sticker within the driv-
er's field of vision.
X Affix part ;of the sticker near the valve
on the wheel with the defectiv etyre. G
WARNING
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 clothin gwhich has come into

If you get TIREFIT on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene.
Your vehicle is provided with one of two dif-
ferent tyre inflation compressors:
R Version 1: the hose with the pressure
gauge and the cable are behind aflap.
R Version 2: the pressure gauge is in the tyre
inflation compressor. Flat tyre

pressure can briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tyrei nflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X Allow the tyre inflation compressor to run
for five minutes. The tyre should then have
attained apressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).

pressor for longer than eight minutes at a
time without abreak. It may otherwise
overheat.
The tyre inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.

affected.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the tyre inflation compressor. G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure is less than 130 kPa
(1.3 bar/20 psi), the tyre is too severely dam-
aged. Do not drive any further. Consult a
qualified specialist workshop which has the

X Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/20 psi) (for the values,
see the fuel filler flap).
