Flat Tyre - Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2011 Owner's Manual

In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
speed
R
road condition
R
outside temperature
R
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving condi-
tions/manoeuvres, or it can be increased
through a moderate style of driving.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from
the moment the tyre pressure loss warning
appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h.
i
When replacing one or all tyres, make
sure that you only use tyres marked
MOExtended. Also ensure that they are of
the specified size for the vehicle.
i
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
characteristics, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT
kit is available, for example, from a qualified
specialist workshop.
TIREFIT kit
Using the TIREFIT kit
TIREFIT is a tyre sealant.
You can use TIREFIT to seal punctures of up
to 4 mm, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures
down to Ò20 †.

unable to provide sufficient breakdown assis-
tance, as it is unable to seal the tyre properly:

R
larger than those mentioned above.
the wheel rim is damaged.
R
you have driven at very low tyre pressures
R
or on a flat tyre.
There is a risk of accident.
Do not drive any further. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
G WARNING
The tyre sealant is harmful and causes irrita-
tion. It must not come into contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing or be swallowed. Do not

plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting,
and seek medical attention immediately.
