reason, you should start the engine unless
you are inflating the tire in an enclosed
space.
X
Press on/off switch ; on the tire inflation
compressor to I.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated.
i First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tire. The
pressure can briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation
compressor during this phase.
X Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
maximum of ten minutes. The tire should
then have attained a pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi).
Switch the tire inflation compressor off
briefly to read the correct value from
pressure gauge B.
! Do not operate the tire inflation
compressor for longer than ten minutes at
a time without a break. It may otherwise
overheat.
The tire inflation compressor can be
operated again once it has cooled down.
Tire pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) is not reached
G WARNING
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) cannot be achieved, the tire
is too badly damaged to be repaired reliably
using TIREFIT.
In this case TIREFIT cannot seal the tire
properly.
Do not drive any further.
Contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center for assistance or call Roadside
Assistance.
If, after five minutes, a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved:
X Switch off the tire inflation compressor,
remove it and drive the vehicle
approximately 30 ft (10 m) forward or back.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
X Leave tire sealant bottle : attached to the
flange.
X
Pump up the tire again.
Tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi) is reached
If the tire pressure is at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi):
X Press on/off switch ; on the tire inflation
compressor to 0.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
off.
X Remove connector ? from the 12 V
socket.
X Remove filler hose E from tire valve G
and re-install the dust protection cap.
Screw the valve cap onto the valve again.
Leave tire sealant bottle : attached to
flange F.
X Stow the TIREFIT kit in a safe and
accessible place in the vehicle.
X Pull away immediately.
! After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This could cause stains.
G WARNING
Do not exceed a vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). A TIREFIT repair is not designed to
operate at higher speeds.
