Using the TIREFIT kit

You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre's
tread. TIREFIT can be used at outside tem-
peratures down to –20 °C.
Risk of accident
Your safety is at particular risk and TIREFIT
is unable to offer breakdown assistance in
the following situations:
if there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm
if the rims are damaged
if you have driven at very low tyre pres-
sures or with flat tyres
Do not drive any further. Consult your PLM
or a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools for the work to be done.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
such work carried out at an SLR Service
Centre. In particular, work relevant to safety
G
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
