Very slowly drive forwards or reverse approx‐
#
imately 33 ft (10 m).
Pump up the tire again.
#
After a maximum of ten minutes the tire
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
& WARNING Risk of accident in the event
of the specified tire pressure not being
reached
If the minimum tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance.
Damaged tires and tire pressure that is too
low can significantly impair the braking prop‐
erties and the handling characteristics.
Do not continue driving.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
#
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been achieved:
& 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 specified maximum
#
speed with a tire that has been repaired
using tire sealant.
For a tire sealed with tire sealant, observe
#
the maximum permissible speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Affix the upper section of the TIREFIT sticker
#
to the instrument cluster where it will be eas‐
ily seen by the driver.
* NOTE Staining caused by leaking tire
sealant
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 a Mercedes-Benz
service center.
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
#
faulty tire.
Stow the tire sealant bottle, the tire inflation
#
compressor and the warning triangle.
Pull away immediately.
