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 3 years.

Tire inflation pressure

A table (see fuel filler flap) lists the tire inflation

pressures specified for Mercedes-Benz recommended

tires as well as for the varying operating conditions.

Important!

Tire pressure changes by approximately 1.5 psi (0.1 bar)

per 18

°F (10°C) of air temperature change. Keep this in

mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage –

especially in the winter.

Example:

If garage temperature = approximately +68

°F (+20°C)

and ambient temperature = approximately +32

°F (0°C)

then the adjusted air pressure = specified air pressure

+3 psi (+0.2 bar).

Tire pressures listed for light loads are minimum values

offering high driving comfort. Increased inflation

pressures for heavy loads produce favorable handling

characteristics with lighter loads and are perfectly

permissible. The ride of the vehicle, however, will

become somewhat harder.

Tire temperature and pressure increase with the vehicle

speed. Tire pressure should therefore only be checked

and corrected on cold tires. Correct tire pressure in

Warn ing!

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.
