Battery (Vehicle) - Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Operator's Manual

the specified maximum speed with a tire that
has been repaired using tire sealant.
The maximum permissible speed for a tire
sealed with tire sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h).
The upper part of the TIREFIT sticker must be
affixed to the instrument cluster in the driver's
field of vision.
!
Residue from the tire sealant may come out
of the filler hose after use. This could cause
stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit.
H
Environmental note
Have the used tire sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at a qualified specialist
workshop.
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
been attained after five minutes:
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
X
faulty tire.
Stow the tire sealant bottle and the tire infla-
X
tion compressor.
Pull away immediately.
X
Stop after driving for approximately ten
X
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).
G
WARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after driving for a short 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 a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
i
In cases such as the one mentioned above,
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter. Or call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the
USA) or 1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).
Correct the tire pressure if it is still at least
X
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the Tire and

Battery (vehicle)

Loading Information placard on the driver's
side B-pillar or the tire pressure table in the
fuel filler flap for values.
To increase the tire pressure: switch on the
X
tire inflation compressor.
To reduce the tire pressure: depress pres-
X
sure release button E next to pressure gauge
F.
When the tire pressure is correct, unscrew the
X
filler hose from the valve of the sealed tire.
Screw the valve cap onto the tire valve of the
X
sealed tire.
Pull the tire sealant bottle out of the tire infla-
X
tion compressor.
The filler hose remains attached to the tire
sealant bottle.
Drive to the nearest qualified specialist work-
X
shop and have the tire changed there.
Have the tire sealant bottle replaced as soon
X
as possible at a qualified specialist workshop.
Have the tire sealant bottle replaced every
X
four years at a qualified specialist workshop.

12 V battery – important safety notes
Special tools and expert knowledge are required
when working on the battery, e.g. removal and
installation. You should therefore have all work
involving the battery carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.

WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can lead, for example, to a short circuit and
thus damage the vehicle electronics. This can
lead to function restrictions applying to
