Practical hints Flat tire The CLK 63 AMG is equipped with a TIREFIT kit. Preparing the vehicle Park the vehicle in a safe distance from moving traffic on a hard, flat surface when possible. Turn on the hazard warning flasher ( page 135). Turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels are in a straight ahead position. Set the parking brake ( page 59). Move the gear selector lever to P. Vehicles with SmartKey: Turn off the engine ( page 60). Remove the SmartKey from the starter switch. Vehicles with SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO*: Turn off the engine by pressing the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button on the gear selector lever once ( page 60). Open the driver's door (with driver's door open, starter switch is now in position 0, same as with SmartKey removed from starter switch). The driver's door then can be closed again. Sealing tires with TIREFIT (CLK 63 AMG only) 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). Warning! G i Open door only when conditions are safe to do so. Have any passenger exit the vehicle at a safe distance from the roadway. TIREFIT is a limited repair device. TIREFIT cannot be used for cuts or punctures larger than approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) and tire damage caused by driving with extremely low tire inflation pressure, or on a flat tire, or a damaged wheel. Do not drive the vehicle under such circumstances. Contact the nearest Mercedes-Benz Center for assistance or call Roadside Assistance. 452
