on the tyre inflation
compressor to I.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched
on. The tyre is inflated.

First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tyre. The
pressure can briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X
Allow the tyre inflation compressor to run
for five minutes. The tyre should then have
attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).
!
Do not operate the tyre inflation com-
pressor for longer than eight minutes at a
time without a break. It may otherwise
overheat.
The tyre inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
been achieved after five minutes, see
(
Y
page 337).
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
not been achieved after five minutes, see
(
Y
page 336).
Tyre pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) not reached
If, after five minutes, a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved:
X
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tyre.
X
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 10 m.
X
Pump up the tyre again.

WARNING
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) cannot be achieved, the tyre
is too severely 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
