TIREFIT sealant can be used on the roadside to seal minor punctures, in particular in the tread. The tire can then continue to be used to a limited extent until it can be replaced. After using TIREFIT tire sealant the customer is required to find the nearest authorized DaimlerChrysler(R) service center immediately and replace the damaged tire with a new one. Tires which have been treated with TIREFIT tire sealant must not be repaired. They must always be replaced with new tires of the same make and manufacturer. To avoid an odor due to TIREFIT, relieve the tire pressure out in the open.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly from the vehicle.
NOTE: Raise the wheel off the ground approximately 8 to 10 inches off the ground to allow the TIREFIT to be forced by gravity.
3. Position the wheel and tire assembly so that the air valve is pointing downwards for approximately ten minutes.
WARNING: THE TIRE SEALANT MUST NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE SKIN, EYES OR CLOTHING, RINSE IMMEDIATELY WITH CLEAN WATER.
