Mercedes-Benz GL-Class / Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Owners Manual / Breakdown assistance / Flat tire / TIREFIT kit / Tire pressure of at least 180 kPa(1.8 bar/26 psi) is not reached

If, after five minutes, a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved:

► Press the on/off switch on the tire inflation compressor to 0.

The tire inflation compressor is switched off.

► Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of the faulty tire.
► Very slowly drive forwards or reverse approximately 30 ft (10 m).
► Pump up the tire again.

WARNING If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa 
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.
