Practical hints Flat tire Store the electrical plug and the air hose behind the flap and place the electrical air pump back in the trunk. Close the trunk lid. Drive off immediately. The TIREFIT sealant will distribute itself evenly inside the tire. Warning! Warning! G Warning! G If a tire inflation 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. If tire inflation pressure has fallen below 20 psi (1.3 bar) do not continue to drive the vehicle. Park your vehicle safely away from the roadway and contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or Roadside Assistance. If tire inflation pressure is at least 20 psi (1.3 bar), inflate tire to correct pressure (see placard on the driver's door B-pillar), and drive vehicle to nearest tire repair facility to have tire repaired or replaced. Recommended duration of use: 300 miles (500 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h) with the recommended tire inflation pressure. G After attaining a tire inflation 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 SmartKey in the ignition to position 0 ( page 36). Detach the electric air pump. The air hose may still be hot. Please exercise appropriate caution. 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. After driving the vehicle for an initial 10 minutes, check the tire inflation pressure using pressure gauge 9 on the air pump. 411
