X
Pull plug ?with the cable and hose Aout
of the housing.
X Screw hose Aontof lange Bof tyre seal-
ant bottle :.
X Place tyre sealant bottle :head down-
wards into recess ;of the tyre inflation
compressor. X
Remove the cap from valve Con the faulty
tyre.
X Screw filler hose Dontov alveC.
X Inser tconnector ?into a12V socket
(Y page 366) in your vehicle.
X Turn the key to position 1in the ignition
lock (Y page 179).
X Press on/of fswitch =on the tyre inflation
compressor to I.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched
on. The tyre is inflated.
First ,tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
The pressure may briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tyrei nflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X Let the tyre inflation compressor run for
five minutes. The tyre should then have
attained apressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).
If ap ressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi )has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tyre
pressure reached" (Y page 400).
If at yre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has not been attained after five minutes, see "Tyre pressure not reached" (Y page 400).If the tyre sealant leaks out, allow it to dry. It
can then be removed like alayer of film.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing, have it cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene.
Tyrep ressure not reached If
ap ressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi )has
not been attained after five minutes:
X Switc hoff the tyre inflation compressor.
X Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tyre.
X Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 10 m.
X Pump up the tyre again.
After amaximum of five minutes the tyre
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi). G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance. Damaged tyres and atyre
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
Tyrep ressure reached G
WARNING
At yre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is arisk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed the specified maximum speed with atyre that
has been repaired using tyre sealant.
The maximum speed for atyre sealed with
tyre sealant is 80 km/h. The upper part of the
TIREFI Tsticker must be affixed to the instru- 400

ment cluster where it willbee
asily seen by
the driver.
! After use, excess tyre sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could caus estains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit. H
Environmental note
Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at aqualified specialist
workshop.
If at yre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been attained after five minutes:
X Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tyre.
X Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre infla-
tion compresso rand the warning triangle.
X Pull away immediately.
X Stop after driving for approximatel yten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the tyre inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after driving for ashort period, the tyre is too
badly damaged. The tyre sealant cannot
repair the tyre in this instance. Damage dtyres
and atyre pressure that is too low can signif-
icantly impair the vehicle's braking and driv-
ing characteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
i In yourv
ehicle, you willf indasticker with
the Mercedes-Benz Service24h telephone
number, e.g. on the B-pillar on the driver's
side.
X Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the fuel filler
flap for values.
X To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the tyre inflation compressor. X
To reduce the tyre pressure: depress
pressure release button Enext to pres-
sure gauge F.
X When the tyre pressure is correct, unscrew
the filler hose from the valve of the sealed
tyre.
X Screw the valve cap onto the tyre valve of
the sealed tyre.
X Pullt he tyre sealant bottle out of the tyre
inflation compressor.
The filler hose stays on the tyre sealant
bottle.
X Drive to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop and have the tyre changed there.
X Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced as
soon as possible at aqualified specialist
workshop.
X Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced every
four years at aqualified specialist work-
shop. Battery (vehicle)

Work on the battery ,e.g. removing or fitting,
requires specialist knowledge and the use of
specia ltools. Therefore, alwaysh ave work on

Whe nparking your vehicle ,make sure that
the tyre sdonot get deforme dbythe kerb or
othe robstacles. If it is necessary to drive over
kerbs, speed humps or similar elevations ,try
to do so slowl yand at an obtuse angle .Oth-
erwise ,the tyres, particularly the sidewalls,
may be damaged. Regular checking of wheel
sand tyres G
WARNING
Damaged tyre scan cause tyre inflation pres-
sure loss. As aresult, yo ucould los econtrol of
your vehicle .There is ariskofa ccident.
Check the tyre sregularl yfor signs of damage
and replace any damaged tyre simmediately.
Regularly check the wheel sand tyre sofyour
vehicle for damag eatleastonce amonth, as
well as afte rdriving off-road or on rough
roads. Damaged wheel scan cause alossof
tyre pressure. Pa yparticula rattention to

R cuts in the tyres
R punctures
R tears in the tyres
R bulge sont he tyres
R deformation or severe corrosio nonwheels
Regularly check the tyre trea ddepth and the
condition of the trea dacross the whol ewidth
of the tyre (Y page 417). If necessary, turn
the front wheel stofullloc kino rder to inspect
the inner sid eofthe tyre surface.
All wheel smusth aveav alve cap to protect
the valve against dirt and moisture. Do not fit
anything onto the valve othe rthan the stand-
ard valve cap or othe rvalve cap sapproved for
your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz. Do not fit any othe rvalve cap sorsystems ,e.g. tyre pres-
sure monitoring systems. Regularly check the pressure of al
lthe tyres,
particularly prior to long trips. Adjust the tyre pressure as necessary (Y page 420).
Observe the notes on the emergency spare
wheel (Y page 465).
The service life of tyre sdepends on various
factors, including the following:
R driving style
R tyre pressure

WARNING
Insufficient tyre trea dwillr educe tyre trac-
tion. The tyre is no longer able to dissipate
water. Thi smeans that on we troa ds urfaces,

where speed is not adapted to suit the driving
conditions .There is ariskofa ccident.
If the tyre pressure is too hig hortoo low ,tyres
may exhibi tdifferent level sofwearatd iffer-
ent locations on the tyre tread. Thus, you
shoul dregularl ycheck the trea ddepth and
the condition of the trea dacross the entire

Minimum tyre trea ddepth for:
R summer tyres: 3mm
R M+S tyres: 4mm
For safety reasons, replace the tyre sbefore
the legall yprescribed limit for the minimum
