R Sticke r TIREFIT
R Tyre inflation compressor
Yo u can use TIREFIT tyre sealant toseal per fora‐
tion dama geof up to4 mm, particular lythose in
th e tyre tread. You can use TIREFIT in outside
te mp eratures down to-20 °C. &
WARNING Risk of accident when using
tyre sealant
In thefo llowing situations, the tyre sealant is
unable toprov ide suf ficient breakdown assis‐
ta nce, as it is unable toseal the tyre prop‐
er ly:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
lar gerth an those pr eviously mentioned.
R the wheel rim is dama ged.
R you ha vedriven at very low tyre pres‐
sures or on a flat tyre. #
Do not drive on. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of inju ryand poisoning
from tyre sealant
Ty re sealant is hazardous tohealth and cau‐
ses ir rita tion. Do not allow it tocome into
contact wi thyour skin, eyes or clo thing, and
do not swallow it. Do not inhale any vapours.
Ke ep the tyre sealant away from children. 326
Breakdown assis tance

If, af
terte n minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been achie ved: &
WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tyres
A tyre temp orarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the specified maximum
speed with a tyre that has been sealed
using tyre sealant. #
Obse rveth e maximum permissible speed for
a tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h. #
Fasten the upper section of the TIREFIT
st icke rto the instrument clus ter where it will
be easi lyseen bythe driver.
* NO
TEStaining from leaking tyre sealant Af
ter use, excess tyre sealant may leak out
from thefilling hose. #
Therefore, place thefilling hose in the
plastic bag that con tained the TIREFIT
kit. +
ENVIRONMEN
TALNO TEEnvironmental
pollution caused byenvironmen tally ir re‐
sponsible disposal Ty
re sealant contains polluta nts. #
Have the tyre sealant bottle disposed of
professionall y,e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. #
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor. #
Unscr ew thefiller hose from theva lve of the
defective tyre. #
Store the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre infla‐
tion compressor and thewa rning triangle. #
Pull away immediatel y. #
Stop af ter driving for appro ximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure using
th e tyre inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
13 0 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tyre pressure not being ach‐
ie ved
If th e specified tyre pressure is not achie ved
af te r a brief drive, the tyre is too badly dam‐
aged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the tyre
in this ins tance.
Dama ged tyres and a tyre pressure that is
to o low can significantly impair braking and
handling characteristics. #
Do not drive on. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. Countries

can also be found in your vehicle, e.g. on the
B‑pillar on the driver's side. #
Cor rect the tyre pressure if it is still at least
13 0 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the tyre pres‐
sure table on the fuel filler flap forva lues. #
Toincrease the ty repressure: switch on
th e tyre inflation compressor. Breakdown assis

Note
s on noise or unusual handling charac‐
te rist ics
While driving, pay attention tovibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pulling
to one side. This may indicate that the wheels or
tyres are damaged. If you suspect that a tyre is
defective, reduce your speed immediatel y.Stop
th eve hicle as soon as possible tocheck the
wheels and tyres for dama ge. Hidden tyre dam‐
age could also be causing the unusual handling
ch aracteristics. If youfind no signs of damage,
ha ve the tyres and wheels checked at a qualified
specialist workshop. Re
gular checking of wheels and ty res&
WARNING Risk of accident from dam‐
aged tyres
Dama ged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.
As a result, you could lose cont rol of your
ve hicle. #
Check the tyres regularly for signs of
dama geand replace any damaged tyres
immediatel y. &
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to
insuf ficient tyre tread
Insu fficient tyre tread will result in reduced
tyre grip. The tyre tread is no longer able to
dissipate water.
This means that in heavy rain or slush the
ri sk of aquaplaning is increased, in particular
where speed is not adap tedto suit the condi‐
tions.
If th e tyre pressure is too high or too lo w,
tyres may exhibit dif fere nt le vels of wear at
dif fere nt locations on the tyre tread. #
Thus, you should regularly check the
tread de pth and the condition of the
tread across the entire width of all
tyres. Minimum tread dep
thfor:
R Summer tyres: 3 mm
R M+S tyres: 4 mm #
For saf etyre asons, replace the tyres
before the legally prescribed limit for
th e minimum tread dep thisreached. Car
ryout thefo llowing checks on all wheels reg‐
ularly, at least once a month or as requ ired, e.g.
prior toa long journey or driving off- road:
R Check the tyre pressure (→ page 345).
R Visual inspection of wheels and tyres for
damage.
R Check theva lve caps.
The valves must be pr otected against mois‐
ture and dirt bytheva lve caps appr oved
especially foryo ur vehicle byMercedes-Benz.
R Visual check of the tyre tread dep thand the
tyre tread condition across the entire width.
The minimum tread dep thfor summer tyres
is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm. 344
Wheels and tyres

Obser
vethefo llowing when selecting, fitting and
re placing tyres:
R Countr y-specific requirements for tyre
appro valth at define a specific tyre type for
yo ur vehicle.
Fu rthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right).
It is only permissible tofit a di fferent wheel
size in theeve nt of a flat tyre in order to
drive tothe specialist workshop.
R Only fit tyres of the cor rect size onto the
wheels.
R Do not make any modifications tothe brake
sy stem, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may in validate theve hicle's
ge neral operating pe rmit. R
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
sy stem: allfitted wheels mu stbe equipped
with functioning sensors forth e tyre pres‐
sure monitoring sy stem.
R Attemp eratures below 7 °C, use winter tyres
or all-season tyres mar ked M+S for all
wheels.
Wi nter tyres bearing thei snowflake
symbol in addition tothe M+S marking pro‐
vide the best possible grip in wintry road
conditions.
R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tyres fitted.
If th is is below theve hicle's maximum speed,
th is must be indicated in an appropriate label
in the driver's field of vision.
R Run in new tyres at moderate speeds forthe
fi rs t10 0 km.
R Replace the tyres af ter six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear. R
When replacing with tyres that do not
fe ature run-flat characteristics: vehicles
with MOExtended tyres are not equipped
with a TIREFIT kit at thefa ctor y.Equip the
ve hicle with a TIREFIT kit af terre placing with
tyres that do not feature run-flat characteris‐
tics, e.g. winter tyres.
