WARNING
If tire inflation pressure has fallen below
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi) do not continue to
drive the vehicle.
Park your vehicle safely away from the
roadway and contact the nearest authorized
electric drive smart center or call
Roadside Assistance.
Have the damaged tire replaced.
X If the tire inflation pressure is at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi), inflate or deflate
the tire to correct tire inflation
pressure (see Tire and Loading
Information placard located on the
driver’s door B‑pillar). R
To increase the tire inflation
pressure: Switch on the electric air
pump.
R To decrease the tire inflation
pressure: Open vent screw 002B. Recheck
the tire inflation pressure with the
electric air pump’s pressure gauge.
X After checking the tire inflation
pressure, unscrew the end of filler
hose 002Afrom tire valve 001D.

! The manufacturer is unable to
guarantee that all tire punctures can be
repaired with the tire repair kit, in
particular cuts or perforations larger
than approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) or away
from the tire’s tread. The manufacturer
is not liable for damage sustained
through improper use of the tire repair
kit. G
WARNING
Follow recommended tire inflation
pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated
tires wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and energy
consumption of the vehicle, and are more
likely to fail from being overheated.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated
tires can adversely affect handling and
ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase
stopping distance, and result in sudden
deflation (blowout) because they are more
likely to become punctured or damaged by
road debris, potholes etc.
Do not overload the tires by exceeding the
specified load limit as indicated on the
Tire and Loading Information placard on
the driver’s door B‑pillar. Overloading the
tires can overheat them, possibly causing
a blowout. Overloading the tires can also 184

The pressure gauge must display at least
200 kpa (2.0 bar, 29 psi).
! Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than ten minutes without
interruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the electrical air pump
again after it has cooled off.
X If a tire inflation pressure of at least
200 kpa (2.0 bar, 29 psi) is not attained,
turn off the electric air pump by
pressing OFFon electric air pump
switch 002A.
X Unscrew the end of filler hose 002Afrom
tire valve 0018.
X After clearing the area around the
vehicle of people and obstacles, drive
vehicle back or forth very slowly
approximately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the tire
sealant material inside the tire.
X Screw the end of filler hose 002Aonto tire
valve 0018.
X Inflate the tire again. G
WARNING
If a tire inflation pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar, 29 psi) is not attained, the
tire is too severely damaged for the tire
sealant to provide a reliable tire repair.
In this case, the tire sealant cannot
properly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest authorized electric
drive smart center for assistance or call
Roadside Assistance.
