"Run Flat" tyres

(optional)
The vehicle can be fitted with "Run
Flat" tyres. This kind of tyre is
equipped with reinforced sidewalls
which permit the vehicle to continue
travelling at a moderate speed
80 km/h - 50 mph), even in the event of
a puncture, for a set distance.
When the control panel receives the
"punctured tyre" information from
the tyre pressure ECU, it monitors the
residual tyre life by showing a warning
signal in the relevant area on the
display at the following intervals: after
50 km and 100 km (31 mi and 62 mi).
Standard
0 psi - 0 bar
After 120 km (75 mi), the warning not
to continue will be displayed.
For further information on the display,
please refer to chapter: "Tyre pressure
monitoring system" on page 47.
WARNING: Always comply with the
specified wheel alignment values, as
this is fundamental to obtain the best
performance from and the longest life
of your tyres.
