replaced with a new wheel. MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics) allow you to continue driving the
vehicle even when one or more tyres lose all
air pressure.
MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-
junction with the activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or with the tyre pressure
monitor.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode depends on the
load in the vehicle. It is 80 km if the vehicle
is partially laden and 30 km if fully laden.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from
