Pump up the tyre again.
#
After a maximum of ten minutes the tyre
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tyre pressure not being
attained
If the minimum tyre pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance.
The braking and driving characteristics may
be greatly impaired.
Do not continue driving.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
#
If, after ten minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been attained:
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
defective tyre.
& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tyres
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre 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 tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant.
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
#
a tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h.
* 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.
Stow the tyre sealant bottle and the tyre
#
inflation compressor.
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
attained
If the specified tyre pressure is not reached,
the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre seal‐
ant cannot repair the tyre in this instance.
