MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-
junction with an active tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitoring
system.
If the pressure loss warning message
appears in the multifunction display:
Vehicles with a 4-button multifunction
R
steering wheel:
observe the instructions in the display mes-
sages ( Y page 290).
Vehicles with a 12-button multifunc-
R
tion steering wheel:
observe the instructions in the display mes-
sages ( Y page 291).
check the tyre for damage.
R
if driving on, observe the following notes.
R
The maximum driving distance is approx-
imately 80 km when the vehicle is partially
laden and approximately 30 km when the
vehicle is fully laden.
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
speed
R
road condition
R
outside temperature
R
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving condi-
tions/manoeuvres, 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 tyre pressure loss warning
appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h.
When replacing one or all tyres, make
i
sure that you use only:
the tyre size specified for the vehicle and
R
tyre(s) marked "MOExtended"
R
If a tyre has gone flat and cannot be
replaced with an MOExtended tyre, a
standard tyre may be used as a temporary
measure. Make sure that you use the
proper size and type (summer or winter
tyre).
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
characteristics, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT
kit can be obtained from a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Important safety notes

WARNING
When driving in emergency mode, the driving
characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when corner-
ing, accelerating quickly and when braking.
There is a risk of accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving manoeu-
vres, and driving over obstacles (kerbs, pot-
holes, off-road). This applies in particular to a
laden vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:
you hear banging noises.
R
the vehicle starts to shake.
R
you see smoke and smell rubber.
R
®
ESP is intervening constantly.
R
there are tears in the sidewalls of the tyre.
R
After driving in emergency mode, have the
wheel rims checked at a qualified specialist
workshop with regard to their further use. The
faulty tyre must be replaced.
