WARNINGARNING Risk of accident due to a at

tire

A at tire severely aects the driving charac-

teristics as well as the steering and braking of

the vehicle.

Tirires wites withouthout rrun-atun-at ccharharactactererisistics:tics:

Do not drive with a at tire.

Change the at tire immediately with an

emergency spare wheel or spare wheel.

Alternatively, consult a qualied special-

ist workshop.

In the event of a at tire, the following options are

available depending on your vehicle's equipment:

Vehicles witehicles with MOExth MOExtended tirended tires:es: it is possible

to continue the journey for a short period of

time. Make sure you observe the notes on

tire so that it is possible to continue the jour-

ney for a short period of time. To do this, use

the TIREFIT kit (/ page 277).

WARNINGARNING Risk of accident when driving in

limp-home mode

When driving in emergency mode the handling

characteristics are impaired.

Do not exceed the specied maximum

speed of the MOExtended tires.

Avoid any abrupt steering and driving

maneuvers as well as driving over obsta-

cles (curbs, pot holes, o-road). This

applies, in particular, to a loaded vehicle.

Stop driving in the emergency mode if

you notice:

Banging noise

Vehicle vibration

Smoke which smells like rubber

Continuous ESP

intervention

Cracks in the tire side walls

Aer driving in emergency mode, have

the rims checked by a qualied specialist

workshop with regard to their further

use.

The defective tire must be replaced in

every case.

With MOExtended tires (run-at tires), you can

continue to drive your vehicle even if there is a

total loss of pressure in one or more tires. How-

ever, the tire aected must not show any clearly

visible damage.

You can recognize MOExtended tires by the

MOExtended marking which appears on the side

wall of the tire.

If a tire has gone at and cannot be replaced with

an MOExtended tire, you can use a standard tire

as a temporary measure.

those in the tire contact surface. You can use

TIREFIT in outside temperatures down to -4 °F

(-20 °C).

WARNINGARNING Risk of accident when using

tire sealant

The tire sealant may be unable to seal the tire

properly, especially in the following cases:

There are large cuts or punctures in the

tire (larger than damage previously men-

tioned)

The wheel rims have been damaged

Aer journeys with very low tire pressure

or with at tires

Do not continue driving.

Consult a qualied specialist workshop.

WARNINGARNING Risk of injury and poisoning

from tire sealant

The tire sealant is harmful and causes irrita-

tion. Do not allow it to come into contact with

the skin, eyes or clothing, and do not swallow

it. Do not inhale tire sealant fumes. Keep the

tire sealant away from children.

If you come into contact with the tire sealant,

observe the following:

Rinse o the tire sealant from your skin

immediately using water.

If tire sealant gets into your eyes, thor-

oughly rinse out the eyes using clean

water.

If tire sealant has been swallowed, imme-

diately rinse out the mouth thoroughly

and drink plenty of water. Do not induce

vomiting and seek medical attention

immediately.

Change out of any clothes contaminated

with tire sealant immediately.

If allergic reactions occur, seek medical

attention immediately.

NOOTETE Overheating due to the tire ination

compressor running too long

Do not run the tire ination compressor

for longer than ten minutes without inter-

ruption.

Comply with the manufacturer's safety notes on

the sticker on the tire ination compressor.

Have the tire sealant bottle replaced in a qualied

specialist workshop every ve years.

Do not remove any foreign objects which have

entered the tire.

sure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).

If tire sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the

aected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera-

ble to use clean water.

If you get tire sealant on your clothing, have it

cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy-

lene.

approximately 33  (10 m).

Pump up the tire again.

Aer a maximum of ten minutes the tire pres-

sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/

WARNINGARNING Risk of accident due to the

specied tire pressure not being achieved

If the specied tire pressure is not achieved

aer the specied time, the tire is too badly

damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the

tire in this instance.

The braking characteristics as well as the driv-

ing characteristics may be greatly impaired.

Do not continue driving.

Consult a qualied specialist workshop.

Unscrew the lling hose from the valve of the

faulty tire.

WARNINGARNING Risk of accident from driving

with sealed tires

A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant

impairs the handling characteristics and is not

suitable for higher speeds.

Adapt your driving style accordingly and

drive carefully.

Do not exceed the maximum speed limit

with a tire that has been repaired using

tire sealant.

Observe the maximum permissible speed for a

tire sealed with tire sealant 50 mph

(80 km/h).

NOOTETE Staining caused by leaking tire seal-

ant

Aer use, excess tire sealant may leak out

from the lling hose.

Therefore, place the lling hose in the

plastic bag that contained the TIREFIT

kit.

ENVIR

ENVIRONMENTONMENTAL NOAL NOTETE Environmental

pollution caused by environmentally irre-

sponsible disposal

Tire sealant contains pollutants.

Have the tire sealant bottle disposed of

professionally, e.g. at an authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center.

Stow the tire sealant bottle and the tire ina-

tion compressor.

Pull away immediately.

Stop driving aer approximately ten minutes

and check the tire pressure using the tire

ination compressor.

The tire pressure must now be at least

130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).

WARNINGARNING Risk of accident due to the

specied tire pressure not being attained

If the specied tire pressure is not reached,

the tire is too badly damaged. The tire sealant

cannot repair the tire in this instance.

The braking and driving characteristics may be

greatly impaired.

Do not continue driving.

Consult a qualied specialist workshop.

In cases such as the one mentioned above, con-

tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Or call

1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or

1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).

sealed tire.

Pull the tire sealant bottle out of the tire ina-

tion compressor.

The lling hose stays on the tire sealant bottle.

Drive to the nearest qualied specialist work-

shop and have the tire, tire sealant bottle and

lling hose replaced there.

WARNINGARNING Risk of an accident due to work

carried out incorrectly on the battery

Work carried out incorrectly on the battery

can, for example, lead to a short circuit. This

can restrict functions relevant for safety sys-

tems and impair the operating safety of your

vehicle.

You could lose control of the vehicle in the fol-

lowing situations in particular:

When braking

In the event of abrupt steering maneuvers

and/or when the vehicle's speed is not

adapted to the road conditions

In the event of a short circuit or a similar

incident, contact a qualied specialist

workshop immediately.

Do not drive on.

Always have work on the battery carried

out at a qualied specialist workshop.

Electrostatic charge can ignite the highly

explosive gas mixture in the battery.

To discharge any electrostatic charge

that may have built up, touch the metal

vehicle body before handling the battery.
