i
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 electric pump dur-
ing this phase.
X
Let the electric pump run for five minutes.
The tyre should then have attained a pres-
sure of at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/ 26 psi).
!
Do not operate the electric air pump for
longer than eight minutes at a time without
a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The air pump can be operated again once
it has cooled down.
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has been achieved, see
(
Y
page 279).
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved, see
(
Y
page 279).
Tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26
psi) is not reached
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved:
X
Press the on/off switch on the electric air
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve.
X
Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 10 m.
X
Pump up the tyre again.
G
Risk of accident
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
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26
psi) is reached
X
Press the 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.
G Warning
The air hose may still be hot. Exercise proper
caution to avoid burning yourself when
detaching the electric air pump.
!
After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This may cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit.
X
Stow away the TIREFIT kit, the electric air
pump and the warning triangle.
X
Pull away immediately.
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.
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 less than 130 kPa
(1.3 bar/26 psi), the tyre is too severely dam-
aged. 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
