Question 2023 GLB250 about tire repair kit

I recently purchased 2023 GLB 250 with 7 seaters and run flat tire, and I checked the hidden cargo? space from the trunk and noticed there was no temporary tire repair kit (lifting jack, portabld air compressor for tire, temporary tire repair/puncture kit, and etc). Is that normal for recent MB vehicles?

I have a 2021 GLB250 7 seat model. Compressor, tire repair kit, reflective safety vest, jack, tire tools, warning triangles are all available for next to nothing on eBay.
FYI — If you look at the tire info brochure from Continental in your manual packet, you will find that that Continental NA doesn’t consider MOE tires repairable under any conditions.

I have a 2023 GLB. I carry an inflator pump(12V0 and a can of slime. With run flat tires getting sidewall damage from a pot hole is rare because of the very thick sidewall. If you pick up a nail it will probably end up as a slow leak. When you get the low tire pressure warning you should pull over and use the pump to add air. If you do not add air and drive on the tire flat it will damage the sidewall and you will need to get a new tire. If you keep the air in the tire while driving you can then get it repaired without issue and save yourself buying a new tire. I live in "pot hole city" and with non run flat tires getting a sidewall blow out is common. I have had two with my GLK350 20" tires. I have never had any nail punctures so I feel for me having run flats is great.
