2022 MERCEDES-BENZ EQS SALOON Owners Manual

With MOExtended tyres
(r un-Oat tyres), you can
continue to drive your vehicle even if there is a
total loss of pressure in one or more tyres. How-
ever, the tyre aMected must not show any clearly
visible damage.
You can recognise MOExtended tyres by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the side
wall of the tyre.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system:
MOExtended tyres may only be used in conjunc-
tion with an activated tyre pressure monitoring
system.
If a pressure loss warning message appears in the
driver's display, proceed as follows:
= Check the tyre for damage.
= If driving on, observe the following notes. Driving distance possible in emergency mode

Fully laden 30 km The driving distance possible in emergency mode
ma
y vary depending on the driving style. Observe
the maximum permissible speed of 80 km/h.
If a tyre has gone Oat and cannot be replaced with
an MOExtended tyre, you can use a standard tyre
as a temporary measure. TIREFIT kit storage location

You can use TIREFIT tyre sealant to seal perfora-
tion damage of up to 4 mm, particularly those in
the tyre contact surface. You can use TIREFIT in
outside temperatures down to -20 °C. &
WARNING Risk of accident when using
tyr
e sealant
The tyre sealant may be unable to seal the
tyr
e properly, especially in the following cases:
= there are large cuts or punctures in the
tyre (larger than damage previously men-
tioned)
= the wheel rims have been damaged
= aser journeys with very low tyre pressure
or with Oat tyres 
Do not continue driving. 
Consult a q
ualiNed specialist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of injur
y and poisoning
from tyre sealant
Tyre sealant is hazardous to health and causes
ir
ritation. Do not allow it to come into contact
with your skin, eyes or clothing, and do not
swallow it. Do not inhale any vapours. Keep
the tyre sealant away from children. Observe the following if you come into contact
wit
h the tyre sealant: 
Rinse oM t
he tyre sealant from your skin
using water immediately. 
If tyre sealant gets into your eyes, thor-
oughl

y rinse them using clean water
immediately. 
If tyre sealant has been swallowed, thor-
oughl
y rinse out your mouth immediately
and drink plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting and seek medical attention
immediately. 
Change out of clothing which has come
int

o contact with tyre sealant immedi-
ately. 
If an allergic reaction occurs, seek medi-
cal att

ention immediately. *
NOTE Ov
erheating due to the tyre inOation
compressor running too long 
Do not run the tyre inOation com
pressor
for longer than ten minutes without inter-
ruption. Breakdown assistance

Comply with the manufacturer's safety notes on
t
he sticker on the tyre inOation compressor.
Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced in a qualiNed
specialist workshop every Nve years.
Do not remove any foreign objects which have

faulty tyre. 
Screw Nlling hose 8 ont
o valve 7. 
Insert plug 4 int
o a 12!


Let the tyre inOation com pressor run for a
maximum of ten minutes.
The tyre should then have attained a tyre pres-
sure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
aMect
ed area as quickly as possible. It is prefera-
ble to use clean water.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy-
lene.
If, aser ten minutes, a tyre pressure of 200 kPa
(2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been attained: 
Switch oM t
he tyre inOation compressor. 
Unscrew the Nlling hose fr
om the valve of the
defective tyre.
Please note that tyre sealant may leak out when
unscr
ewing the Nlling hose. 
Drive forwards or in reverse very slowly for
appr
oximately 10 m. 
Pump up the tyre again.
Aser a maximum of t

en minutes the tyre pres-
sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi). &
WARNING Risk of accident due t
o the
speciNed tyre pressure not being attained
If the speciNed tyr
e pressure is not attained
aser the speciNed time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance.
The braking and driving characteristics may be
greatly impaired. 
Do not continue driving. 
Consult a q
ualiNed specialist workshop. If, aser
t
en minutes, a tyre pressure of 200 kPa
(2.0 bar/29 psi) has been attained: 
Switch oM t
he tyre inOation compressor. 
Unscrew the Nlling hose fr
om the valve of the
defective tyre. &
WARNING Risk of accident fr
om driving
with sealed tyres
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
im
pairs the handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. 
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
dr

ive carefully. 
Do not exceed the maximum speed limit
wit
h a tyre that has been repaired using
tyre sealant. 
Observe the maximum permissible speed of
80 km/h

for a tyre sealed with tyre sealant.
* NOTE S
taining from leaking tyre sealant Aser
use, e

pollution caused by environmentally irre-
sponsible disposal Tyre sealant contains pollutants.

Have the tyre sealant bottle disposed of
pr
ofessionally, e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. 
Stow the tyre sealant bottle and the tyre inOa-
tion com

pressor. 
Pull away immediately. 
Stop driving aser appr
oximately ten minutes
and check the tyre pressure using the tyre
inOation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). &
WARNING Risk of accident due t
o the
speciNed tyre pressure not being attained
If the speciNed tyr
e pressure is not reached,
the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre seal-
