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.
