Practical hints
Flat tire
왘
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 to the nearest
qualified workshop, e.g. an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center to have the
damaged tire replaced.
Recommended duration of use: A
maximum of 300 miles (500 km) at or
below 50 mph (80 km/h) with the
recommended tire inflation pressure.
왘
Visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center as soon as possible to obtain a
new TIREFIT kit.
왘
Bring used TIREFIT materials to an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center for
proper disposal.
왘
Replace your TIREFIT container every
four years. Replacement containers are
available at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning!
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 road-
way and contact the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center or Roadside
Assistance.
Warning!
G
Follow recommend tire inflation pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires
can result in sudden deflation (blowout) be-
cause they are more likely to become punc-
tured 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.
Warning!
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 instru-
ment cluster where it will be easily seen by
the driver.
Vehicle handling characteristics may
change. Adapt your driving accordingly.
