Notes on MOExtended tires (run-flat tires)

dling characteristics are impaired, e.g. when
cornering, when accelerating strongly and
when braking.
Do not exceed the specified maximum
#
speed.
Avoid any abrupt steering and driving
#
maneuvers as well as driving over
obstacles (curbs, pot holes, off-road).
This applies, in particular, to a loaded
vehicle.

#
you notice:
banging noise
R
vehicle vibration

After driving in emergency mode have
#
the rims checked by a qualified special‐
ist workshop with regard to their further
use.
The defective tire must be replaced in
#
every case.
With MOExtended tires (run-flat tires), you can
continue to drive your vehicle even if there is a
total loss of pressure in one or more tires. How‐
ever, the tire affected must not show any clearly
visible damage.
You can recognize MOExtended tires by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the side
wall of the tire.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitoring sys‐
tem: MOExtended tires may only be used in con‐
junction with an activated tire pressure monitor‐
ing system.
