Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small punctures, particularly those in the tire tread.
You can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures down to -4 °F (-20 °C).
WARNING
TIREFIT is a limited repair device. TIREFIT
cannot be used for cuts or punctures larger
than approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) and tire
damage caused by driving with extremely low
tire inflation pressure, or on a flat tire, or a
damaged wheel.
Do not drive the vehicle under such
circumstances.
Contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for assistance or call
Roadside
Assistance.
► Do not remove any foreign objects which
have penetrated the tire, e.g. screws or
nails.
► Remove the tire sealant bottle, the
accompanying "max. 80 km/h" sticker and
the tire inflation compressor from the
stowage well underneath the trunk floor.

► Affix part 1 of the sticker within the
driver's field of vision.
► Affix part 2 of the sticker near the valve
on the wheel with the defective tire.
WARNING
Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT
to come in contact with hair, eyes or clothing.
TIREFIT is harmful if inhaled, swallowed or
absorbed through the skin - causes skin, eye
and respiratory irritation.
Any contact with eyes or skin should be
flushed immediately with plenty of water.
If clothing comes in contact with TIREFIT,
change clothing as soon as possible.
In case of allergic reaction or rash, consult a
physician immediately.
WARNING
Keep TIREFIT away from children. If
swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting.
Consult a doctor immediately.
Keep away from open flame or heat source.
If TIREFIT leaks out, allow it to dry. It can
then be removed like a layer of film.
If you get TIREFIT on your clothing, have it cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethylene.
Your vehicle is provided with one of two different tire inflation compressors:
• Version 1: the hose with the pressure
gauge and the cable are behind a flap.
• Version 2: the pressure gauge is in the
tire
inflation compressor.
