Do not start the engine at any time while
the wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise
the vehicle as described, it could slip off the
jack (e.g. if the engine is started or a door
or the boot lid are opened or closed) and
you could be seriously injured.
Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT in outdoor temperatures
down to -20 °C.
G
Risk of accident
In the following situations, your safety is at
particular risk and TIREFIT is unable to pro-
vide breakdown assistance:

greater than 4 mm

sures or on a flat tyre

specialist workshop which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to carry

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 work-
shop.
