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.

Risk of accident
In the following situations, your safety is at
particular risk and tyre sealant is unable to
provide breakdown assistance:
R
if there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm
R
if the wheel rim is damaged
R
if you have driven at very low tyre pres-
sures or on a flat tyre
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces-
sary 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 systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.

have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails.
