Practical hints Flat tire Warning! Follow recommend tire pressures. G Warning! G Sealing tires with TIREFIT kit 2 Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires can result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes, etc. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified vehicle capacity weight (as indicated by the label on the pillar in the driver's door opening). Overloading the tires can overheat them, possibly causing a blowout. 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. Warning! G Keep TIREFIT away from sparks, open flame or heat source. Do not smoke. Replace your TIREFIT container every four years. Containers are available at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Small tire punctures, particularly those in the tread, can be sealed with TIREFIT. TIREFIT can be used in ambient temperatures down to -4°F (-20°C). Visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible to obtain a new TIREFIT kit. Bring used TIREFIT materials to an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for proper disposal. 345
