G
Risk of accident
Your safety is at particular risk and TIREFIT
is unable to repair a flat tyre in the following
situations:
If there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm in size
If the wheel is damaged
If you have driven at very low tyre pres-
sures or with flat tyres
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose. In particu-
lar, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Do not remove any foreign bodies
which have penetrated the tyre, e.g.
screws or nails.
Remove the TIREFIT kit, the accompa-
nying "max. 80 km/h" sticker and the
electric air pump from the boot
( page 276).
Affix the sticker in the driver's field of
vision.
