is a risk of accident. Do not continue driv-
ing if the vehicle is equipped with normal
tires. Follow the information on runflat
tires and continued driving with these
tires.

neuvers.

Actions in the event of a flat tire
Standard tires
1.
Identify the damaged tire.
To do this, check the tire pressure in
all four tires, for instance using the tire
pressure display of a flat tire kit.
If the tire pressure in all four tires is
correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may
not have been reset. In this case, per-
form the reset.
If 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, con-
tact an authorized service center or an-
other qualified service center or repair
shop.
2.
Repair the flat tire, e.g., with a flat tire
kit or by changing the wheel.
Use of sealing compound, for instance from
the flat tire kit, may damage the wheel elec-
tronics. In this case, have the electronics
checked and replaced at the next opportu-
nity.
