-after 15 washes, and/or
-if the reflective strips have become
scratched, and/or
-if the backing material and/or reflective
strips have become soiled and cannot becleaned off, and/or
-the fluorescence of a reflective safety
vest has faded e.g. due to the effects of
sunlight
RDispose of reflective safety jackets in an

General notes
The towing eye is located in the left-hand
stowage well under the cargo compartment
floor.
Apart from certain country-specific varia-
tions, the vehicles are not equipped with a
tire-change tool kit.
Some tools for changing a wheel are specific
to the vehicle. For more information on which tire changing tools are required and approved
to perform a wheel change on your vehicle,
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Tools required for changing a wheel may
include, for example:
RJack
RWheel chock
RLug wrench
RRatchet wrench
RAlignment bolt

TIREFIT kit
Important safety notes
TIREFIT is a tire sealant.
You can use TIREFIT to seal punctures of up to
0.16 in (4 mm), particularly those in the tire
tread. You can use TIREFIT at outside tem-
peratures down to Ò4 ‡ (Ò20 †).
GWARNING
In the following situations, the tire sealant is
unable to provide sufficient breakdown assis-
tance, as it is unable to seal the tire properly:
Rthere are cuts or punctures in the tire larger
than those mentioned above.
Rthe wheel rim is damaged.
Ryou have driven at very low tire pressures or on a flat tire.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not drive the vehicle. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
GWARNING
The tire sealant is harmful and causes irrita-
tion. It must not come into contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing or be swallowed. Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes. Keep tire sealant away
from children. There is a risk of injury.
If you come into contact with the tire sealant,
observe the following:
RRinse off the tire sealant from your skin
immediately with water.
RIf the tire sealant comes into contact with
your eyes, immediately rinse them thor-
oughly with clean water.
RIf tire sealant is swallowed, immediately
rinse your mouth out thoroughly and drink
plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting,
and seek medical attention immediately.
RImmediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with tire sealant.
RIf an allergic reaction occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.
!Do not operate the tire inflation compres-
sor for longer than eight minutes at a time
without a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The tire inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.
Comply with the manufacturer’s safety
instructions on the sticker on the tire inflation
compressor.
Using the TIREFIT kit
XDo not remove any foreign objects which
have penetrated the tire, e.g. screws or
nails.
XRemove the tire sealant bottle, the accom-
panying TIREFIT sticker and the tire infla-
tion compressor from the stowage well
underneath the cargo compartment floor
(
Ypage 355).
XAffix part :of the TIREFIT sticker to the
instrument cluster within the driver's field
of vision.
XAffix part ;of the TIREFIT sticker near the
valve on the wheel with the defective tire.

XTurn the SmartKey to position 1in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 153).
XPress on and off switch =on the tire infla-
tion compressor.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated.
First, tire sealant is pumped into the tire.
The pressure may briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
XLet the tire inflation compressor run for a
maximum of five minutes. The tire should
then have attained a pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi). If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tire
pressure reached" (
Ypage 359).
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has not been attained after five minutes, see
"Tire pressure not reached" (
Ypage 359).
If tire sealant has escaped, clean it off affec-
ted areas as quickly as possible. Use plain
water if possible.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant,
have them cleaned with perchloroethylene at
a dry cleaner as soon as possible.
Tire pressure not reached
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
not been attained after five minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tire.
Note that tire sealant may escape when you
unscrew the filler hose.
XVery slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 30 ft (10 m).
XPump up the tire again.
After a maximum of five minutes the tire
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/ 26 psi).
GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a tire
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.

suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceedthe specified maximum speed with a tire that
has been repaired using tire sealant.
The maximum permissible speed for a tire
sealed with tire sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h). The upper part of the TIREFIT sticker must be
affixed to the instrument cluster in the driv-
er's field of vision.
!After use, excess tire sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could cause stains.
Therefore, place the tire sealant bottle with
filler hose in the plastic bag which is con-
tained in the TIREFIT kit.
HEnvironmental note
Have the used tire sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at a qualified specialist
workshop.
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been attained after five minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tire.
XStow the tire sealant bottle and the tire
inflation compressor.
XPull away immediately.
XStop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tire pressure with
the tire inflation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after driving for a short period, the tire is too
badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair
the tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a
tire pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
iIn cases such as the one mentioned
above, contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center. Or call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or 1-800-387-0100 (in Can-
ada).
XCorrect the tire pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the Tire andLoading Information placard on the driver's
side B-pillar or the tire pressure table in the
fuel filler flap for values.
XTo increase the tire pressure: switch on
the tire inflation compressor.
XTo reduce the tire pressure: depress
pressure release button :next to pres-
sure gauge ;.
XWhen the tire pressure is correct, unscrew
the filler hose from the valve of the sealed
tire.
XScrew the valve cap onto the tire valve of
the sealed tire.
XPull the tire sealant bottle out of the tire
inflation compressor.
The filler hose remains attached to the tire
sealant bottle.
XDrive to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop and have the tire changed there.
