7.Screw the sealant filler hose to the
tyre valve.
8. The rocker switch on the compressor must be set to
position O.
9.
Connect the red < power supply
lead on the compressor to the
jump start terminal 3 206.
Note
Depending on model, the jump start
terminal may be located at the left-
hand or right-hand side of the engine
compartment.
10. Connect the black ] power
supply lead to a vehicle grounding
point, e.g. the engine block or an
engine mounting bolt.
Note
Depending on tyre repair kit type, it
may be necessary to connect the
single power supply lead to the
power outlet or cigarette lighter
socket.
For this type, the red < and
black ] power supply leads will not
be present.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the
engine.
11. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to position I. The tyre
is filled with sealant.
12. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to six bar.
Then the pressure starts to drop.
13. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.

14. The prescribed tyre pressureshould be obtained within
ten minutes. Tyre pressure
3 239 . When the correct pressure
is obtained, turn off the
compressor by setting rocker
switch to position O.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within ten minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation
(approx. two metres). Reattach
the tyre repair kit and continue the
filling procedure for ten minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still
not obtained, the tyre is too badly
damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Drain excess tyre pressure with
the button beside the pressure
indicator.
Do not run the compressor for
longer than ten minutes.
15. Detach the tyre repair kit.
16. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
17. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from
the tyre repair kit and affix in the driver's field of view.
18. Screw the sealant filler hose to the
free connection on the sealant
bottle. This prevents sealant from
escaping. Store the sealant bottle in the plastic bag. Stow tyre repairkit under the front seat.
19. Continue driving immediately so that the sealant is evenly
distributed throughout the tyre.
After driving approx. ten km, but
no more than ten minutes, stop
and check tyre pressure using the
compressor. Screw compressor
air hose directly onto tyre valve
and compressor when doing this.
20. If the tyre pressure is more than 3.1 bar , set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 3.1 bar, the vehicle must
Page 203 of 255

Vehicle care201not be driven. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
21. Stow tyre repair kit under the front
seat.
Note
The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre are severely affected,therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least
30 minutes.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of seven bar.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
bottle.
Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.
The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 °C.Wheel changing
Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel
3 198.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-slippery surface. The
front wheels must be in the
straight-ahead position.
● Apply the parking brake and engage first gear or reverse gear
(manual transmission) or N
(manual transmission
automated).
● Switch off the air suspension system 3 135.
● Remove the spare wheel 3 203.
● Never change more than one wheel at a time.
● Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.● If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be
placed under the jack.
● No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up.
● Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
● Do not start the engine when the vehicle is raised on the jack.
● Clean wheel bolts/nuts and their threads before mounting the
wheel.9 Warning
Do not grease wheel bolt, wheel
nut and wheel nut cone.
1. Remove the wheel cover using the hook supplied. Vehicle tools
3 192.
2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and loosen
each wheel bolt/nut by half a turn.
Page 205 of 255

Vehicle care2039. Refit wheel cover.Note
If applicable, fit anti-theft bolts
nearest the tyre valve (otherwise it
may not be possible to refit the wheel
cover).
10. Stow the replaced wheel 3 203
and the vehicle tools 3 192.
11. Have the new wheel balanced on the vehicle. Check the tyre
pressure of the installed tyre
3 239 and also the wheel bolt/nut
torque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or
repaired.
Spare wheel Some vehicles are equipped with atyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel
3 198.
If mounting a spare wheel which is
different from the other wheels, this
wheel might be classified as a
temporary spare wheel and the
corresponding speed limits apply,
even though no label indicates this.
Seek the assistance of a workshop to
check the applicable speed limit.Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The spare wheel is held under the
vehicle frame using a winch and
secured by tightening a cable using
the wheel wrench and adapters
(depending on vehicle).
It may be necessary to jack the
vehicle up to gain access to the spare
wheel on a fully loaded vehicle with a flat rear tyre.
To release the spare wheel, loosen
cable by connecting the wheel
wrench and adapters (depending on
vehicle) to the slot position illustrated
and lower the wheel fully by turning
wrench clockwise.
Caution
Only use the wheel wrench and
adapters (depending on vehicle)
to lower the spare wheel.
The use of pneumatic tools is
prohibited. This may result in
damage to the winch cable and
equipment.

Vehicle care211For mechanical removal of ice, use a
sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the
scraper firmly against the glass so
that no dirt can get under it and
scratch the glass.
Remove dirt residues from smearing
wiper blades by using a soft cloth and
window cleaner. Also make sure to
remove any residues such as wax,
insect residues and similar from the
window.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damageRectify minor paintwork damage with
a touch-up pen before rust forms.
Have more extensive damage or rust
areas repaired by a workshop.Underbody
Some areas of the vehicle underbody
have a PVC undercoating while other
critical areas have a durable
protective wax coating.
After the underbody is washed, check
the underbody and have it waxed if
necessary.
Bitumen/rubber materials could
damage the PVC coating. Have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop.
Before and after winter, wash the
underbody and have the protective
wax coating checked.
Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with
a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.Interior care
Interior and upholstery Only clean the vehicle interior,
including the instrument panel fascia
and panelling, with a dry cloth or
interior cleaner.
Clean leather upholstery with clear
water and a soft cloth. In case of
heavy soiling, use leather care.
The instrument cluster and the
displays should only be cleaned using
a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a
weak soap solution.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.
Clothing fabrics may not be
colourfast. This could cause visible
discolourations, especially on light- coloured upholstery. Removable
stains and discolourations should be
cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.
