Tyre pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) is not reached
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) has
not been achieved after five minutes:
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
X
the faulty tyre.
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
X
approximately 10 m.
Pump up the tyre again.
X
After a maximum of five minutes the tyre
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar,
26 psi).
G WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance. Damaged tyres and a tyre
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.

X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of

the faulty tyre.
! After use, excess tyre sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag that contained the TIREFIT kit.
Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre infla-
X
tion compressor and the warning triangle.
Pull away immediately.

WARNING
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed
the specified maximum speed with a tyre that
has been repaired using tyre sealant.
The maximum speed for a tyre sealed with
tyre sealant is 80 km/h. The "max. 80 km/h"
sticker must be affixed to the instrument clus-
ter within the driver's field of vision.
Stop after driving for approximately ten
X
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the tyre inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi).
G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after driving for a short period, the tyre is too
badly damaged. The tyre sealant cannot
repair the tyre in this instance. Damaged tyres
and a tyre pressure that is too low can signif-
icantly impair the vehicle's braking and driv-
ing characteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
i
In your vehicle, you will find a sticker with
the Mercedes-Benz Service24h telephone
number, e.g. on the B-pillar on the driver's
side.
Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at least
X
130 kPa (1.3 bar, 19 psi) (for the values,
see the fuel filler flap).
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
X
the tyre inflation compressor.
