Refueling
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel
incorrectly, there is arisk of fire and explo-
sion.
You must avoid fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine
and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before refueling.
GWARNING
Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is arisk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing
and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel
vapors. Keep fuel away from children.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
RWash away fuel from skin immediately
using soap and water.
RIf fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical assistance with-
out delay.
RIf fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay.Don ot induce vomit-
ing.
RImmediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel.
GWARNING
Electrostatic buildupc an create sparks and
ignite fuel vapors. There is arisk of fire and
explosion.
Always touch the vehicle body before opening
the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump
nozzle. Any existing electrostatic buildupi s
thereby discharged.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the refu-
eling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge
could build up again.
!Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the ignition
if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel.
Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel system. Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system and the
engine. Notify aqualified specialist workshop
and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained
completely.

XTurn theSma rtKey to position 1in th eignition
loc k(Ypage 116).
XPress on and off switch ?on th etirei nflation
compressor to ON.
The tire inflation compressor is switched on .
The tire is inflated.
First ,tires ealan tispumped int othe tire. The
pressur emay briefly ris etoapproximately
50 0k Pa(5.0b ar/7 3psi).
Do not switch off th etirei nflation com -
pressor during this phase .
XLet thetirei nflation compressor run for a
maximum of te nminutes. The tire should then
hav eattained apressur eofatl east 200kPa
(2. 0b ar/29 psi) .
If at irep ressur eof200 kPa( 2.0b ar/29 psi) is
achieved after amaximum of te nminutes, see
(
Ypage 249).
If at irep ressur eof200 kPa( 2.0b ar/29 psi) is
no ta chieved after amaximum of te nminutes,
see (
Ypage 249).
If tire sealan thas escaped, clean it off affecte d
areas as quickly as possible. Use plain water if
possible.
If your clothes are soiled wit htires ealant, hav e
them cleane dwithp erchloroethylen eatadry
cleane rassoo

ssible.
Tire pressure not reached
Ifat irep ressur eof200 kPa(2.0 bar/29 psi) has
beena chieved after ten minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
faulty tire.
Note that tire sealant may escap ewheny ou
unscrew the filler hose.
XVery slowly drive forwards or reverse approx- imately 30 ft (10 m).
XPump up the tire again.
After amaximu moften minutes ,the tire pres-
sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 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 atire
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.
Tire pressure reached
GWARNING
At ire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitabl efor higher speeds. There is arisk of
accident.
You should thereforea dapt yourdriving style
accordingly and drive carefully .Donot exceed
the specified maximu mspeedw ithatire that
has beenr epaired using tire sealant.
The maximu mspeedf oratire sealed with tire
sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h). The upper part of
the TIREFIT sticker must be affixed to the instru-
ment cluster in the driver's fieldofv ision.
!Residuefrom the tire sealant may come out
of the filler hose after use .This coul dcause
stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit.
