MOExtended system
The MOExtended system allows you to con-
tinue driving your vehicle even if there is a
total loss of pressure in one or more tires.
You may only use the MOExtended system in
conjunction with the Run Flat Indicator
( Y page 213), the TPMS ( Y page 214), or the
Advanced TPMS ( Y page 217).
For information on driving in case of pressure
loss in one or more tires (emergency mode),
see the "Practical Hints" section
( Y page 321).
