Practical hints Flat tire Detach the electric air pump. The air hose may still be hot. Please exercise appropriate caution. 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! After attaining a tire inflation pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar), press 0 on electric air pump switch 3 ( page 410). The electric air pump is switched off. Turn the SmartKey in the starter switch to position 0 ( page 37). After driving the vehicle for an initial 10 minutes, check the tire inflation pressure using pressure gauge b on the air pump. Warning! Warning! G If a tire inflation pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not attained, the 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. G 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. Have the damaged tire replaced. 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 of a TIREFIT repaired tire may change. Adapt your driving accordingly. 412
