warning MERCEDES-BENZ GL SUV 2009 Manual Online

X
Vehicles with the AIRMATIC package*
or Off-Road Pro engineering package*:
remove the Start/Stop button from the
ignition lock.
X Get out of the vehicle.
X Close the driver’s door.
X Place the warning triangle (Y page 208) at
a suitable distance. Observe legal require-
ments.
i Only operate the electric air pump using
the socket in the footwell of the second row
of seats (Y page 163), even if the ignition
is turned off.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-
board voltage does not drop too low. If the
on-board voltage is too low, power to the
sockets is automatically cut-off. This
ensures that there is sufficient power to
start the engine. Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures
down to -20 †. G
Risk of accident
In the following cases your safety is especially
endangered, as tyre sealant is insufficient if:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm.
R the wheel rim is damaged.
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. X
Do not remove any foreign objects which
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails.
X Remove the TIREFIT kit, the accompanying
"max. 80 km/h" sticker and the electric air
pump from the stowage well underneath
the luggage compartment floor
(Y page 209). X

er's field of vision.
X Affix part ;of the sticker near the valve

TIREFIT must not come into contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing.
R If TIREFIT comes into contact with your
eyes or skin, immediately rinse thoroughly
with clean water.
R Change out of clothing which has come into
contact with TIREFIT immediately.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, consult a doc-
tor immediately.

X
Press on/off switch ?on the electric air
pump to I.
The electric air pump is switched on. The
tyre is inflated.
i First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tyre. The
pressure can briefly rise to around 5 bar.
Do not switch off the electric pump dur-
ing this phase.
X Let the electric pump run for five minutes.
The tyre should then have a pressure of at
least 1.8 bar.
! Do not operate the electric air pump for
longer than eight minutes at a time without
a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The air pump can be operated again once
it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached
after five minutes:
X Switch off and disconnect the electric air
pump and drive the vehicle forwards or
backwards approximately 10 m.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
X Pump up the tyre again. G
Risk of accident
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not achieved after
five minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
When a tyre pressure of at least 1.8 bar
is reached:
X Press on/off switch ?on the electric air
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X Remove the TIREFIT kit from the wheel. !
After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This may cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
which contained the TIREFIT kit.
X Stow away the TIREFIT kit, the electric air
pump and the warning triangle.
X Pull away immediately.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump. G
Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure is now lower than 1.3 bar,
the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive
any further. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
X If the tyre pressure is still at least 1.3 bar,
correct it (see fuel filler flap for values).
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the electric air pump.
To reduce the tyre pressure: open pres-
sure release screw Fon pressure
gauge G.
X Drive to the nearest workshop and have the
tyre changed there.
X Have the TIREFIT kit replaced as soon as
possible at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of accident
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h.
The "max. 80 km/h" label must be affixed in
the driver's field of vision.
The vehicle's handling characteristics may be
affected. Flat tyre
