If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been attained after eight minutes:

WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tires
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds.
#
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
#
Do not exceed the specified maximum
speed with a tire that has been sealed
using tire sealant.
Observe the maximum permissible speed for a
tire sealed with tire sealant 50 mph (80 km/h).
#
Affix the upper section of the TIREFIT sticker
to the instrument cluster where it will be eas‐
ily seen by the driver.
* NOTE Staining caused by leaking tire
sealant
After use, excess tire sealant may leak out
from the filling hose.
#
Therefore, place the filling hose in the
plastic bag that contained the TIREFIT
kit.
+ ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
pollution caused by environmentally irre‐
sponsible disposal
Tire sealant contains pollutants.
#
Have the tire sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
#
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
defective tire.
#
Store the tire sealant bottle, the tire inflation
compressor and the warning triangle.
#
Pull away immediately.
#
Stop driving after approximately ten minutes
and check the tire pressure using the tire
inflation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
&
WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tire pressure not being reached
If the specified tire pressure is not reached
after a brief drive, the tire is too badly dam‐
aged. The tire sealant cannot repair the tire
in this instance.
Damaged tires and tire pressure that is too
low can significantly impair the braking prop‐
erties and the handling characteristics.
#
Do not continue driving.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
In cases such as the one mentioned above, con‐
tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Or
call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or
1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).
#
Correct the tire pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the Tire and
Loading Information placard on the driver's
side B‑pillar or the tire pressure table in the
fuel filler flap for values.
#
To increase the tire pressure: switch on
the tire inflation compressor.
