is on alevel surface and the engine has cooled
down.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (Ypage 116).
On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, press the
Start/Stop button twice (

XCheck the coolant temperature gage in the
multifunction display.
The coolant temperature must be below
158 ‡(70 †).
XTurn the SmartKey to position u
(Ypage 116) in the ignition lock.
XSlowly turn cap :half aturn anti-clockwise

Maintenance and care

HEnvironmentalnote
Hav ethe used tir esealantb ottle disposed of
professionally, e.g .ataqualifieds pecialist
workshop.
If tir epressure of 20 0kPa(2.0 ba r/29 psi )has
beena chieved after amaximu mperiod of ten
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 infla- tion 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 ashort 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 arisk of accident.
