X Stow the TIREFIT kit in a safe and accessi-
ble place in the vehicle.
X
Pull away immediately.
The maximum speed for a tire sealed with tire
sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h). The upper part
of the TIREFIT sticker must be affixed to the
instrument cluster in the driver's field of
vision.
! After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This could cause stains.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tire pressure with
the tire inflation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
i On tires that are equipped with a tire pres-
sure sensor (tire pressure monitor), the use
of sealant can lead to malfunction mes-
sages and incorrect displays. Therefore,
use pressure gauge B in the TIREFIT kit to
check and correct the tire pressure.
G WARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after driving for a short period, the tire is too
badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair
the tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a
tire pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
X
Correct the tire pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/20 psi) (for the values,
see the Tire and Loading Information plac-
ard on the driver's side B-pillar or tire pres-
sure table on the fuel filler flap).
To increase the tire pressure: switch on
the tire inflation compressor.
To reduce the tire pressure: open release
screw C.
! The manufacturer does not guarantee
that all tire damage can be repaired using
the TIREFIT kit, particularly in the case of
cuts and punctures with a diameter of more
than four millimeters or on the sidewall. The
manufacturer is not responsible for dam-
age caused by inappropriate use of the
TIREFIT kit.
X
Drive to the nearest workshop and have the
tire changed there.
X
Have the tire sealant bottle replaced as
soon as possible at a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
H Environmental note
Have the used tire sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
X Have the TIREFIT kit replaced every four
years at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Battery (vehicle)
Important safety notes
Special tools and expert knowledge are
required when working on the battery, e.g.
removal and installing. You should therefore
have all work involving the battery carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
G WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can lead, for example, to a short circuit and
thus damage the vehicle electronics. This can
lead to function restrictions applying to
safety-relevant systems, e.g. the lighting sys-
tem, ABS (anti-lock braking system) or ESP
®
(Electronic Stability Program). The operating
safety of your vehicle may be restricted. You
could lose control of the vehicle, for example:
R braking
R in the event of abrupt steering maneuver
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not
adapted to the road conditions
There is a risk of an accident.
