X
Remove the cap from valve C on the faulty
tire.
X
Screw filler hose D onto valve C .

Observe the notes on the cigarette lighter
(

page 352). Observe the notes on sock-
ets (

X
Turn the SmartKey to position 1 in the igni-
tion lock (
Y
page 165).
X
Press on and off switch = on the tire infla-
tion compressor to I.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated.
i
First, tire sealant is pumped into the tire.
The pressure can briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X
Allow the tire inflation compressor to run
for five minutes. The tire should then have
attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tire
pressure reached" (
Y
page 390).
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has not been attained after five minutes, see
"Tire pressure not reached" (
Y
page 390).
If tire sealant leaks out, allow it to dry. It can
then be removed like a layer of film.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant,
have them cleaned with perchloroethylene at
a dry cleaner as soon as possible.
Tire pressure not reached
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
not been attained after five minutes:
X
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tire.
X
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 30 ft (10 m).
X
Pump up the tire again.
After a maximum of five minutes the tire
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi).
G WARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a tire
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
Tire pressure reached
G WARNING
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed
the specified maximum speed with a tire that
has been repaired using tire sealant.
The maximum speed for a tire sealed with tire
sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h). The upper part
of the TIREFIT sticker must be affixed to the
instrument cluster in the driver's field of
vision.
