If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been
attained:

#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
faulty tire.
Please note that tire sealant may leak out when
unscrewing the filling hose.

After a maximum of ten minutes the tire
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tire pressure not being ach‐
ieved
If the specified tire pressure is not achieved
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance.
Damaged tires and a tire pressure that is too
low can significantly impair braking and han‐
dling characteristics.
Do not drive on.

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

& 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.
