Press I on electric air pump switch ;.
The electric air pump is switched on and
inflates the tire.
i
First, the sealing is pumped into the tire.
The pressure may briefly rise to up to
500 kPA (5 bar, 73 psi). This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction. Do not
switch off the electric air pump.
G
Warning!
The air hose can become hot during inflation.
Please exercise appropriate caution.
X
Let the electric air pump inflate the tire for
approximately 10 minutes.
The tire inflation pressure must be at least
180 kPA (1.8 bar, 26 psi). The maximum
tire inflation pressure is 350 kPA (3.5 bar,
50 psi).
Switch off the electric air pump to read the
tire inflation pressure from pressure gauge
B.
!
Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than 10 minutes without
interruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the air pump again after
it has cooled off.
If the tire inflation pressure of at least
180 kPA (1.8 bar, 26 psi) is not attained:
X
Turn off the electric air pump by pressing
0 on electric air pump switch ;.
X
Detach filler hose E from tire valve G.
X
Leave TIREFIT container : on flange F.
X
Drive vehicle back or forth very slowly
approximately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the TIREFIT
sealant material inside the tire.
X
Inflate the tire again.
G
Warning!
If a tire inflation pressure of 180 kPA (1.8 bar,
26 psi) is not attained, the tire is too severely
damaged for TIREFIT to provide a reliable tire
repair.
In this case, TIREFIT cannot properly seal the
tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest Mercedes-Benz Center or
call Roadside Assistance.
After attaining a tire inflation pressure of
at least 180 kPA (1.8 bar, 26 psi):
X
Press 0 on electric air pump switch ;.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X
Pull plug ? from the cigarette lighter/
power outlet.
G
Warning!
The air hose may still be hot. Exercise proper

detaching the electric air pump.
!
Remaining TIREFIT sealant could escape
from the filler hose after it has been
detached from the tire valve. TIREFIT
sealant may cause stains.
Therefore, cover the filler hose, e.g. by
inserting it into the plastic bag the TIREFIT
kit was packed in.
X
Unscrew filler hose E from tire valve G
and plug the filler hose with the dust cap.
Screw the valve cap back onto the tire
valve.
Leave TIREFIT container : on flange F.
