MOBILITY
To do this, check the tire pressure in all four
tires, for instance using the tire pressure
display from a tire repair set.
When the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the flat tire monitor may not
have been initialized. In this case, initialize
the system.
If tire damage cannot be identified, contact
an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
2. Repair the flat tire, for instance with a tire
repair set or by changing the wheel.
Runflat tires
Safety information
Warning
The vehicle handles differently when a runflat
tire has insufficient or no tire pressure; for
instance, reduced directional stability when
braking, braking distances are longer and the
self-steering properties will change. There is
a risk of accident. Drive moderately and do
not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Warning
Heavy trailers can start swinging when
continuing to drive with a flat tire. There
may be a risk of accidents or risk of dam-
age to property. Do not exceed a speed
of 35 mph/60 km/h when driving with a
trailer and a flat tire. If the trailer swings or
snakes, brake immediately and apply neces-
sary steering corrections as carefully as pos-
sible.
Maximum speed
You may continue driving with a damaged tire
at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h.

Continued driving with a flat tire
Follow the following when continuing to drive
with a damaged tire:
1. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu-
vers.
2. Do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h.
3. Check the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires at the next opportunity.
When the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the flat tire monitor may not
have been initialized. In this case, initialize
the system.
Possible driving distance with a flat tire
The possible driving distance which may be
safely traveled varies depending on how the
vehicle is loaded and used, e.g., speed, road
conditions, outside temperature. The distance
traveled may be less but may also be more if
an economical driving style is used.
If the vehicle is loaded with an average
weight and used under favorable conditions,
the possible distance traveled may be up to
50 miles/80 km.
Vehicle handling with damaged tires
Vehicles driven with a damaged tire will han-
dle differently, potentially leading to conditions
such as the following:
▷ Greater likelihood of skidding of the vehicle.
▷ Longer braking distances.
▷ Changed self-steering properties.
Modify your driving style. Avoid abrupt steering
or driving over obstacles, for instance curbs or
potholes.
Final tire failure
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indi-
cate the final failure of a tire.
