336 Breakdown assistance
Please note that tire sealant may leak out when
unscrewing the filling hose.
Drive forwards or in reverse very slowly for
#
approximately 33 ft (10 m).
Pump up the tire again.
#
After a maximum of ten minutes the tire pres-
sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tire pressure not being achieved
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.
The braking characteristics as well as the driv-
ing characteristics may be greatly impaired.
Do not continue driving.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
#
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of 200 kPa
(2.0 bar/29 psi) has been attained:
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
defective tire.
& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tires
A tire temporarily sealed with tire 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 tire that has been repaired using
tire sealant.
Observe the maximum permissible speed of
#
50 mph (80 km/h) for a tire sealed with tire
sealant.
* NOTE Staining caused by leaking tire seal-
ant
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.
Stow the tire sealant bottle and the tire infla-
#
tion compressor.
Pull away immediately.
#
Stop driving after approximately ten minutes
#
and check the tire pressure using the tire
inflation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
