Note:
Do not operate electric air pump longer that 6 minutes
without interruption. Air pump could overheat! After air
pump has cooled off, operate air pump again.
16. To switch off air pump, turn key in steering lock to
position 0.
17. Reinstall valve tire cap.
18. Drive vehicle to distribute the sealant evenly inside
the tire.
Notes:
If TIREFIT is liquid, clean water and a damp cloth will
remove the material from the vehicle or tire and wheel
components. Once TIREFIT sealing material had dried,
it can easily be peeled off and properly discarded.
Replace TIREFIT every 4 years.
Warning!
If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not attained,
tire is too severely damaged for TIREFIT to provide
a reliable tire repair.
In this case TIREFIT can not properly seal the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
Contact the nearest Mercedes-Benz Center or call
Roadside Assistance.
Warning!
Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km /h).
A TIREFIT repair is not designed to operate at
higher speeds.
Vehicle handling characteristics may change.
After driving vehicle for an initial 10 minutes,
check tire pressure. If tire pressure has fallen
below 20 psi (1.3 bar) do not continue to drive the
vehicle.
If tire pressure is at least 20 psi (1.3 bar), inflate
tire to correct pressure (see label on fuel filler
flap), and drive vehicle to nearest tire repair
facility to have tire repaired or replaced.
Recommended duration of use: 300 miles (500 km)
at 50 mph (80 km /h) with the recommended tire
pressure.
