General
When a flat tyre is indicated, the Dynamic Sta-
bility Control is turned on, if needed.
Safety information
WARNING
A damaged standard tyre with too little or no
tyre inflation pressure impairs driving charac-
teristics, for example steering and braking.
Tyres with run-flat capabilities allow a limited
level of stability to be maintained. There is a
risk of accident. Do not continue driving if the
vehicle is fitted with standard tyres. Comply
with the notes on run-flat tyres and continu-
ing driving with these tyres.
Flat tyre message
A yellow warning light is illuminated in
the instrument cluster.
In addition, an icon with a Check Control mes-
sage is shown on the control display.
Icon Possible cause
There is a flat tyre or substantial tyre
pressure loss.
Measure
1. Reduce your speed and carefully stop the
vehicle. Avoid heavy braking and sudden
steering manoeuvres.
2. Check whether the vehicle is equipped with
standard tyres or run-flat tyres.
The icon identifying run-flat tyres is a circle
with the letters RSC on the tyre sidewall.

Wheels and tyres
Run-flat tyres, see page 291.
3. Follow the description of what to do when
the vehicle gets a flat tyre.
What to do in the event of a flat tyre
Standard tyres
1. Identify the damaged tyre.
To do this, check the tyre inflation pressure
in all four tyres, for example using the tyre
inflation pressure indicator of a tyre repair
kit.
If all four tyres are inflated to the correct
tyre inflation pressures, the flat tyre monitor
might not have been initialised. In this case
initialise the system.
If no tyre damage can be found, contact a
Service Partner of the manufacturer or an-
other qualified Service Partner or a special-
ist workshop.
2. Repair the flat tyre, for example using a tyre
repair kit or by changing the wheel.
Run-flat tyres
Safety information
WARNING
A run-flat tyre with too little or no tyre infla-
tion pressure will change the vehicle's han-
dling characteristics, for example there may
be reduced directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and different self-
steering properties. There is a risk of acci-
dent. Drive with care and do not exceed a
speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with a flat tyre can cause
heavy trailers to start snaking. There is a risk
of accident or material damage. When driving
with a trailer and a flat tyre, do not exceed the
