MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
General notes With MOExtended tyres (tyre
swith run-flat
characteristics), you can continue to drive
yourv ehicleeven if there is atotal loss of
pressure in one or more tyres. The affected
tyre must not show any clearly visible dam-
age.
You can recognise MOExtended tyres by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the
tyre wall. You willf ind this marking next to the
tyre size designation, the load-bearing capa-
city and the spee dindex.
MOExtended tyres may only be usedinc on-
junction with an activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor.
If ap ressure lossw arningmessage
appears in the multifunction display:
R observe the instructions in the display mes-
sage s(Ypage3 22)
R check the tyre for damage
R if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
is approximately 80 km when the vehicl eis
partiallyl aden and approximately 30 km
when the vehicl eisfullyladen.
In addition to the vehicl eload, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
R vehicl espeed
R road condition
R outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
may be reduced by extreme driving condi-
tions/manoeuvres ,oritcan be increased
through amoderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
is counted from the moment the tyre pressure loss warning appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
You must not exceed amaximu mspee dof
80 km/h. When replacing one or all tyres, observe the
following specifications for yourv
ehicle's
tyres:
R size
R the type and
R the "MOExtended "mark.
If at yre has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with an MOExtended tyre, astandard tyre
may be usedasat emporary measure. Make
sure that you use the prope rsize and type
(summer or winter tyre).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It is
therefore recommende dthat you additionally
equip yourv ehiclewithaTIREFIT kit if you fit
tyres that do not feature run-fla tcharacteris-
tics, e.g. winter tyres. ATIREFIT kit can be
obtained from aqualified specialist work-
shop.
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 arisk of accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximu mspeed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving manoeu-
vres, and driving over obstacles (kerbs, pot-
holes, off-road). This appliesinp articulartoa
laden vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:
R you hearb anging noises.
R the vehicl estarts to shake.
R you see smoke and smell rubber.
R ESP ®
is intervening constantly.
R there are tears in the sidewalls of the tyre.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
whee lrims checked at aqualified specialist
worksho pwith regard to their further use .The
faulty tyre must be replaced. 398

If
at yre size precedes atyre pressure, the
following tyre pressure information is only
validf or that tyre size.
Use asuitable pressure gauge to check the
tyre pressure. The outer appearance of atyre
does not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pressure. On vehicle sfitted with the
electronic tyre pressure monitor, the tyre
pressure can be checked using the on-board
computer.
If possible, only correct tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold.
The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least three
hours and
R if the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1.6 km
Depending on the ambient temperature ,the
vehicle speed and the loadont he tyres, the
tyre temperature and thus the tyre pressure
changes by approximately 10 kPa (0. 1bar/
1.5 psi )per 10 †. Take this into account
when checking the pressure of warm tyres.
Only correct the tyre pressure if it is too low
for the current operating conditions.
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the service life of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have anegative effect on handling charac-
teristics and thus driving safety (e.g. aqua-
planing) The tyre pressure values given for low loads
are minimum values which offer you good ride
comfort characteristics.
However, you can also use the values given
for higherl oads. These are permissible and
willn ot adversely affect the running of the
vehicle.
Speeds up to 210 km/h: despite the values
stated on the tyre pressure information label (fuel filler flap), for speedsupt o210 km/h
and with R16 tyres, the values stated can be
reduced as follows, withou tareduction in
safety:
R Saloon: Ò30 kPa (Ò0.3 bar/Ò4p si)
R Estate: Ò20 kPa (Ò0.2 bar/Ò3p si)
This does not apply to vehicle stowing a
trailer.
This improves the ride comfort of yourv ehi-
cle; however, fuel consumption may increase slightly. Tyre pressure lossw
arning system
General notes Whilet
he vehicle is in motion, the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system monitors the set
tyre pressure using the rotational speed of
the wheels. This enables the system to detect significant pressure loss in atyre. If the speed
of rotation of awhee lchanges as aresultofa
loss of pressure, acorresponding warning

play.

af ew minutes of driving, this is rectified and
the tyre pressures are displayed for the cor-
rect positions.
Restarting the tyr epressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tyre pressures as the refer-
enc evalues for monitoring. In most cases, the
tyre pressure monitor will automatically
detec tthe new referenc evalues after you
have changed the tyre pressure. However,
you can also define referenc evalues man-
ually as described here. The tyre pressure
monitor then monitors the new tyre pressure values.
X Use the table on the inside of the fuel filler
flap to ensure that the tyre pressure is set
correctly in all four tyres for the current
operatin gconditions.
Also observe the notes in the section on
tyre pressures (Y page 420).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in the
