and press
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side
wall that makes continued driving possible
despite the tyre losing some air. These tyres
are fitted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can
also be fitted to this rim).
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yel-
low TPMS lamp on the instrument panel illu-
minates and a message is shown in the text
panel. If this occurs, reduce speed to
max. 80 km/h. The tyre must be replaced as
soon as possible.
Drive carefully, in some cases it can be difficult
to see which tyre is faulty. In order to establish
which tyre needs attention, check all four tyres.
