Tire pressure reached
G
WARNING
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed
the specified maximum speed with a tire that
has been repaired using tire sealant.
USA only: The maximum permissible speed for
a tire sealed with tire sealant is 50 mph
(80 km/h). The upper part of the TIREFIT sticker
must be affixed to the instrument cluster in the
driver's field of vision.
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has
been attained after ten minutes:
X
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
X
Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of the
faulty tire.
Note that tire sealant may escape when you
unscrew the filler hose.
X
USA only: Stow the tire sealant bottle and the
tire inflation compressor.
X
Pull away immediately.
X
Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tire pressure with the
tire inflation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
G
WARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after driving for a short period, the tire is too
badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair
the tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a
tire pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.

USA only: In cases such as the one men-
tioned above, contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. Or call
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or
1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).
X
USA only: 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 driv-
er's side B-pillar or the tire pressure table in
the fuel filler flap for values.
X
To increase the tire pressure: switch on the
tire inflation compressor.
X
To reduce the tire pressure: depress pres-
sure release button : next to pressure
gauge ;.
X
When the tire pressure is correct, unscrew the
filler hose from the valve of the sealed tire.
Note that tire sealant may escape when you
unscrew the filler hose.
X
Screw the valve cap onto the tire valve of the
sealed tire.
X
To remove the tire sealant bottle from the tire
inflation compressor, press together the lock-
ing tabs on the yellow cap.
X
Pull the tire sealant bottle out of the tire infla-
tion compressor.
The filler hose remains attached to the tire
sealant bottle.
X
Drive to the nearest qualified specialist work-
shop and have the tire changed there.
