has been attained after eight minutes:
& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tires
A tire temporarily sealed with tire 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 tire that has been repaired
using tire sealant.
Observe the maximum permissible speed for a
tire sealed with tire sealant 50 mph (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 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 an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
faulty tire.
Stow the tire sealant bottle, the tire inflation
#
compressor and the warning triangle.
Pull away immediately.

Breakdown assistance 377
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 reached
If the specified tire pressure is not reached
after a brief drive, the tire is too badly dam‐
aged. 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.

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). You will find the
