i
First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tyre. The
pressure can briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the electric pump dur-
ing this phase.
Let the electric pump run for five minutes.
X
The tyre should then have attained a pres-
sure of at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/ 26 psi).
!
Do not operate the electric air pump for
longer than eight minutes at a time without
a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The air pump can be operated again once
it has cooled down.
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has been achieved, see
( page 279).
Y
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved, see
( page 279).
Y
Tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26
psi) is not reached
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved:
Press the on/off switch on the electric air
X
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve.
X
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
X
approximately 10 m.
Pump up the tyre again.

G
Risk of accident
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1 8 bar/26 psi) cannot be achieved, the tyre .
is too severely damaged.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

Warning
The air hose may still be hot. Exercise proper
caution to avoid burning yourself when
detaching the electric air pump.
!
After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This may cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit.
Stow away the TIREFIT kit, the electric air
X
pump and the warning triangle.
Pull away immediately.

G Risk of accident
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h.
The "max. 80 km/h" label must be affixed in
the driver's field of vision.
The vehicle's handling characteristics may be
affected.
Stop after driving for approximately ten
X
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump.
G
Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure is less than 130 kPa
(1.3 bar/26 psi), the tyre is too severely dam-
aged. Do not drive any further. Consult a
qualified specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose. In particular,
