If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached
after five minutes:
Switch off and disconnect the electric air
X
pump and drive the vehicle forwards or
backwards approximately 10 m.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
Pump up the tyre again.

G Risk of accident
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not achieved after
five minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
When a tyre pressure of at least 1.8 bar
is reached:
Press on/off switch ? on the electric air
X
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
Remove the TIREFIT kit from the wheel.
X
! After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This may cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
which contained the TIREFIT kit.
Stow away the TIREFIT kit, the electric air
X
pump and the warning triangle.
Pull away immediately.
X
Stop after driving for approximately ten
X
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump.
G
Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure is now lower than 1.3 bar,
the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive
any further. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary 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 workshop.
If the tyre pressure is still at least 1.3 bar,
X
correct it (see fuel filler flap for values).
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the electric air pump.
To reduce the tyre pressure: open pres-
sure release screw F on pressure
gauge G.
Drive to the nearest workshop and have the
X
tyre changed there.
Have the TIREFIT kit replaced as soon as
X
possible at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
G Risk of accident
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h.
The "max. 80 km/h" label must be affixed in
the driver's field of vision.
The vehicle's handling characteristics may be
affected.
H
Environmental note
Have the used TIREFIT kit disposed of profes-
sionally, e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
Have the TIREFIT kit replaced every four
X
years at a qualified specialist workshop,
