of theve hicle. Ty
res without run-flat characteristics: #
Do not drive with a flat tyre. #
Chan getheflat tyre immediately with
an emer gency spa rewheel or spare
wheel. Alternativel y,consult a qualified
specialist workshop.
Ty res with run-flat characteristics: #
Obse rveth e information and warning
no tes on MOExtended tyres (run-flat
tyres). In
theeve nt of a flat tyre, thefo llowing options
are available depending on your vehicle's equip‐
ment:
R Vehicles with MOExtended tyres: it is pos‐
sible tocontinue the journey for a short
period of time. Make sure you obse rvethe
no tes on MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres)
(/ page 316).
R Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: you can repair
th e tyre so that it is possible tocontinue the
jou rney fo r a short period of time. Todo this,
use the TIREFIT kit (/ page318). R
Vehicles with Mercedes me connect: you
can make a call for breakdown assi stance via

WARNING Risk of accident when driving
in li mp-home mode
Driving in emergency mode impairs the han‐
dling characteristics of theve hicle. #
Do not exceed the permissible maxi‐
mum speed of the MOEx tended tyres. #
Avoid any abrupt steering and driving
manoeuvres as well as driving over
obs tacles (kerbs, pot holes, off-road).
This applies, in pa rticular, toa loaded

th MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres), you can
continue todrive your vehicle even if there is a
tot al loss of pressure in one or more tyres. How‐
eve r,th e tyre af fected must not show any clearly
visible damage.
Yo u can recognise MOExtended tyres bythe
MOExtended marking which appears on the side
wa ll of the tyre.
Ve hicles with tyre pressure loss warning sys‐

WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tyre pressure not being
attained
If th e specified tyre pressure is not reached,
th e tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre seal‐
