If ap ressure loss warning message appears
in the multifunction display: R
observe the instructions in the displa ym es-
sages ( Y
page 211).R
check the tire for damage R
if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is
approximately 50 miles (80 km) when the vehi-
cle is partiall yl aden. When the vehicle is fully
laden it is approximately 19 miles (30 km).
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon: R
vehicle speed R
road condition R
outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving conditions
or maneuvers, or it can be increased through a
moderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is
counted from the moment the tire pressure loss
warning appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed am aximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
When replacing one or all tires, please observe
the following specifications for your vehicle's
tires: R
size R
type and R
the "MOExtended" marking
If at ire has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with aM OExtended tire, as tandard tire may be
used as at emporary measure. Make sure that
you use the proper size and type (summer or
winter tire).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires are
not equipped with aT IREFIT kit at the factory. It
is therefore recommended that you additionally
equip your vehicle with aT IREFIT kit if you mount
tires that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g.
winter tires. AT IREFIT kit may be obtained from
aq ualified specialist workshop.
Important safety notes
G WARNING
When driving in emergency mode, the driving
characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when corner- ing, accelerating quickly and when braking.
There is ar isk of an accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneuvers,
and driving over obstacles (curbs, potholes,
off-road). This applies in particular to al aden
vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if: R
you hear banging noises. R
the vehicle starts to shake. R
you see smoke and smell rubber. R
ESP ®
is intervenin gc onstantly.R
there are tears in the sidewalls of the tire.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
wheel rims checked at aq ualified specialist
workshop with regard to their further use. The
defective tire must be replaced in every case.
TIREFIT kit
Important safety notes TIREFIT is at ire sealant.
Only valid for USA: You can use TIREFIT to seal
punctures of up to 0.16 in (4 mm), particularly
those in the tire tread. You can use TIREFIT at

section ( Y

Important safety notes
G WARNING
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked at least once every two
weeks when cold and inflated to the pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the driver's door B-pillar or the tire pres-
sure label on the inside of the fuel filler flap. If
your vehicle has tires of ad ifferent size than
the size indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information placard or, if available, the tire
pressure label ,y ou should determine the
proper tire pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with at ire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates al ow tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires
are significantly underinflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale lights up,
you should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible ,a nd inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on as ignificantly underin-
flated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability. Please note that
the TPMS is not as ubstitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pres-
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the sys-
tem detects am alfunction, the warning lamp
will flash for approximately am inute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will be repeated every time the vehi-
cle is started as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for av ariety of
reasons, including the installation of incom-
patible replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functionin gp roperly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate Tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to that recommended for cold tires
which is suitable for the operating situation
( Y
page 290). Note that the correct tire pressure
for the current operating situation must first be
taught-in to the tire pressure monitor. If as ub-
stantial loss of pressure occurs, the warning
threshold for the warning message is aligned to
the taught-in reference values. Restart the tire
pressure monitor after adjusting the pressure of
the cold tires ( Y
page 297). The current pres-
sures are saved as new reference values. As a
result, aw arning message will appea rift he tire
pressure drops significantly.
The tire pressure monitor does not warn you of
an incorrectly set tire pressure. Observe the
notes on the recommended tire pressure
( Y
page 290).
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn you
of as udden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tire is
penetrated by af oreign object. In the event of a
sudden loss of pressure, bring the vehicle to a
halt by braking carefully .A void abrupt steering
movements. Tire pressure 295
Wheels and tires Z

Tire-mounting tools should not be used near
the valve. This could damage the electronic
components.
Only have tires changed at aq ualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the
"Changing aw heel" section ( Y
page 307).
The wear pattern sont he front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Rotate the wheels before ac lear wear pattern
has formed on the tires. Fron tt ires typically
wear more on the shoulders and the rear tires in
the center.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can rotat et he wheels accord-
ing to the intervals in the tire manufacturer's
warranty book in your vehicle documents. If no
warranty book is available, the tires should be
rotated every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to
10,00 0k m) .D ependin gont ire wear, this may
be required earlier. Do not change the direction
of wheel rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and the
brake disc thoroughly every time aw heel is rota-
ted. Check the tire pressure and, if necessary,
restart the tire pressure loss warning system
(Canada only) or the tire pressure monitor (USA
only).
Direction of rotation Tires with as pecified direction of rotation have
additional benefits ,e .g. if there is ar isk of hydro-
planing. These advantages can only be gained if
the tires are installed corresponding to the
direction of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates its
correc td irection of rotation.
Storing wheels Stor ew heels that are not being used in ac ool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protec tt he tires
from oil, grease, gasoline and diesel. Mounting aw heel
