WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tyres
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre 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 tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant.
#
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
a tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h.
*
NOTE Staining from leaking tyre sealant
After use, excess tyre 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
Tyre sealant contains pollutants.
#
Have the tyre sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
#
Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre inflation
compressor and the warning triangle.
#
Pull away immediately.
#
Stop driving after approximately ten minutes
and check the tyre pressure using the tyre
inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
&
WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tyre pressure not being
attained
If the specified tyre pressure is not reached,
the tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre seal‐
ant cannot repair the tyre in this instance.
The braking and driving characteristics may
be greatly impaired.
#
Do not continue driving.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Countries that have Mercedes-Benz
Service24h: you will find a sticker with the tele‐
phone number, e.g. on the B‑pillar on the driver's
side.
#
Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the tyre pres‐
sure table on the fuel filler flap for values.
#
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the tyre inflation compressor.
