Practical hints
Flat tire
̈ Detach the electric air pump.
The air hose may still be hot. Please ex-
ercise appropriate caution.
̈ Store the electrical plug and the air
hose behind the flap and place the air
pump back in the trunk.
̈ Close the trunk lid.
̈ Drive away immediately.
The TIREFIT sealant will distribute itself
evenly inside the tire.
̈ After driving vehicle for an initial
10 minutes, check tire pressure using
the pressure gauge on the air pump.
Warning! G
If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not at-
tained, 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.
Warning! G
Do not exceed vehicle speed of
50 mph (80 km/h). A TIREFIT repair is not
designed to operate at higher speeds.
The sticker must be attached on the instru-
ment cluster where it will be easily seen by
the driver.
Vehicle handling characteristics may
change. Adapt your driving accordingly.
Warning! G
If tire pressure has fallen below
20 psi (1.3 bar) do not continue to drive the
vehicle.
Park your vehicle safely away from the road-
way and contact the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center or Roadside Assis-
tance.
If tire pressure is at least 20 psi (1.3 bar), in-
flate tire to correct pressure (see label on
fuel filler flap), and drive vehicle to nearest
tire repair facility to have tire repaired or re-
placed.
Recommended duration of use:
300miles (500km) at 50mph (80km/h)
with the recommended tire pressure.
