398 Breakdown assistance
& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tires
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds.
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
#
drive carefully.
Do not exceed the maximum speed limit
#
with a tire that has been repaired using
tire sealant.
Observe the maximum permissible speed of
#
50 mph (80 km/h) for a tire sealed with tire
sealant.
* NOTE Staining caused by leaking tire seal-
ant
After use, excess tire sealant may leak out
from the filling hose.
Therefore, place the filling hose in the
#
plastic bag that contained the TIREFIT
kit.

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
pollution caused by environmentally irre-
sponsible disposal
Tire sealant contains pollutants.
Have the tire sealant bottle disposed of
#
professionally, e.g. at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Stow the tire sealant bottle and the tire infla-
#
tion compressor.
Pull away immediately.
#
Stop driving after approximately ten minutes
#
and check the tire pressure using the tire
inflation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tire pressure not being attained
If the specified tire pressure is not reached,
the tire is too badly damaged. The tire sealant
cannot repair the tire in this instance.
The braking and driving characteristics may be
greatly impaired.
Do not continue driving.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
#
In cases such as the one mentioned above, con-
tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 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
#
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). For values, see tire
and load data plate or tire pressure table on
the driver-side B‑pillar.
To increase the tire pressure: switch on the
#
tire inflation compressor.
