Practical advice
Flat tyre
Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT in outdoor temperatures
down to -20 °C.
G Risk of accident
In the following situations, your safety is at
particular risk and tyre sealant is unable to
provide breakdown assistance:
if there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
R
greater than 4 mm
if the wheel rim is damaged
R
if you have driven at very low tyre pres-
R
sures or on a flat tyre
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.

then be removed like a layer of film.
If you get TIREFIT on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene.

instructions shown on the sticker on the
electric air pump.
