If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached
after five minutes:
X
Switch off and disconnect the electric air
pump and drive the vehicle forwards or
backwards approximately 10 m.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
X
Pump up the tyre again.
G
Risk of accident
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not achieved after
five minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
When a tyre pressure of at least 1.8 bar
is reached:
X
Press 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.
!
After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This may cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
which contained the TIREFIT kit.
X
Stow away the TIREFIT kit, the electric air
pump and the warning triangle.
X
Pull away immediately.
X
Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump.
G
Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure is now lower than 1.3 bar,
the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive
any further. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
X
If the tyre pressure is still at least 1.3 bar,
correct it (see fuel filler flap for values).
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the electric air pump.
To reduce the tyre pressure: open pres-
sure release screw

.
X
Drive to the nearest workshop and have the
tyre changed there.
X
Have the TIREFIT kit replaced as soon as
possible at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
G
Risk of accident
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h.
The "max. 80 km/h" label must be affixed in
the driver's field of vision.
The vehicle's handling characteristics may be
affected.
H
Environmental note
Have the used TIREFIT kit disposed of profes-
sionally, e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
X
Have the TIREFIT kit replaced every four
years at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
