300 Flat tire If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved, see (Y page 300). X Stow the TIREFIT kit and the electric air pump. X Pull away immediately. Tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/ 26 psi) is not achieved If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved: X Press the on/off switch on the electric air pump to 0. The electric air pump is switched off. X Unscrew the filler hose from the valve. X Very slowly drive forwards or reverse approximately 30 ft (10 m). X Pump up the tire again. G Warning Do not exceed a 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. X Roadside Assistance G Warning Stop after driving for approximately ten minutes and check the tire pressure with the electric air pump. If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) cannot be achieved, the tire is too badly damaged to be repaired reliably using TIREFIT. In this case TIREFIT cannot seal the tire properly. Do not drive any further. Contact the nearest authorized MercedesBenz Center for assistance or call roadside assistance. G Warning If tire inflation pressure has fallen below 130 kPa (1.3 bar/26 psi) 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. X Tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/ 26 psi) is achieved X Press the on/off switch on the electric air pump to 0. The electric air pump is switched off. X Remove the TIREFIT kit from the wheel. Correct the tire pressure if it is at least 130 kPa (1.3 bar/20 psi) (values can be found in the tire and loading information table on the B-pillar on the driver's side or in the tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel filler flap). To increase the tire pressure: switch on the electric air pump. X G Warning The air hose may still be hot. Exercise proper caution to avoid burning yourself when detaching the electric air pump. ! After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of the filler hose. This could cause stains. Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic bag which contained the TIREFIT kit.
