If a tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been attained after eight minutes:
& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tyres
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs driving 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 tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant.
Observe the maximum permissible speed for a
tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h.
Affix the upper section of the TIREFIT sticker
#
to the instrument cluster in a location where
it will be easily seen by the driver.
* NOTE Staining from leaking tyre sealant
After use, excess tyre 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
Tyre sealant contains pollutants.
Have the tyre sealant bottle disposed of
#
professionally, e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
defective tyre.
Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre inflation
#
compressor and the warning triangle.
Pull away immediately.
#
Stop driving after approximately ten minutes
#
and check the tyre pressure using the tyre
inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).

& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tyre pressure not being ach‐
ieved
If the specified tyre pressure is not achieved
after a brief drive, the tyre is too badly dam‐
aged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the tyre
in this instance.
Damaged tyres and a tyre pressure that is
too low can significantly impair braking and
handling characteristics.
Do not drive on.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

Countries that have Mercedes-Benz
Service24h: a sticker with the phone number
can also be found in your vehicle, e.g. on the B-
pillar on the driver's side.
Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at least
#
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). You will find the
values in the tyre pressure table in the fuel
filler flap.
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
#
the tyre inflation compressor.
