The maximum driving distance is approx-
imately 50 miles (80 km) when the vehicle is
partially laden and approximately 18 miles
(30 km) when the vehicle is fully laden.
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-

Road condition

The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving condi-
tions/maneuvers, or it can be increased
through a moderate style of driving.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from
the moment the tire pressure loss warning
appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
i
When replacing one or all tires, make sure
that you use only tires:
of the size specified for the vehicle and
R
marked "MOExtended"
R
If a tire has gone flat and cannot be
replaced with an MOExtended tire, a stand-
ard tire may be used as a temporary meas-
ure. Make sure that you use the proper size
and type (summer or winter tire).
i
Vehicles featuring tires with run-flat char-
acteristics are not equipped with a TIREFIT
kit at the factory. It is therefore recommen-
ded that you additionally equip your vehicle
with a TIREFIT kit if you mount tires that do
not feature run-flat properties, e.g. winter
tires. A TIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualified specialist workshop.
