Practical hints Flat tire After 5 minutes, the pressure gauge must display at least 26 psi (1.8 bar). The air hose can become hot during inflation. Please exercise appropriate caution. If this tire pressure is not attained, turn off the electric air pump, detach the filler hose from the tire valve, and drive vehicle back and forth very slowly approximately 30 ft (10 m). This serves to better distribute the TIREFIT sealant material inside the tire. Unscrew the air pump's air hose 5 from flange 6 of the TIREFIT container. Inflate the tire again. Detach the electric air pump. The air hose may still be hot. Please exercise 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. Warning! Warning! G If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not attained, 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 pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar), press 0 on electric air pump switch 8. The electric air pump should now be switched off. Turn the key in the ignition to position 0 ( page 29). or Press the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button ( page 30) on the selector lever once. Do not depress brake pedal. 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 instrument cluster where it will be easily seen by the driver. Vehicle handling characteristics may change. Adapt your driving accordingly. 310
