A flat tyre se verely affects the driving charac‐
te rist ics as well as thesteering and braking
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 352).
R Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: you can repair
th e tyre so that it is possible tocontinue the
jou rney for a short period of time. Todo this,
use the TIREFIT kit (/ page 353).

WARNING Risk of accident when driving
in limp -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
ve hicle. #
Stop driving in the emer gency mode if
yo u notice:

After driving in emergency mode, ha ve
th erims checkedby aqu alified special‐ ist
workshop with rega rd totheir fur ther
use. #
The defective tyre must be replaced in
eve rycase. Wi
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 monitoring sys‐
te m: MOExtended tyres may only be used in
conjunction wi than activated tyre pressure mon‐
itoring sy stem.
If a pressure loss warning message appears in
th e multifunction displa y,proceed as follo ws:
R Check the tyre for dama ge.
R If driving on, obser vethefo llowing no tes. Driving distance possible in emer
gency
mode af ter the pressure loss warning: Load condition Driving distance pos‐
sible in emergency
mode
Pa rtially laden 80 km
Fu lly laden 30 km The driving dis
tance possible in emergency
mode may vary depending on the driving style.
Obser vethe maximum permissible speed of
80 km/h.
If a tyre has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with an MOEx tended tyre, you can use a stand‐
ard tyre as a temp orary measure. TIREFIT kit

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‐
ant cannot repair the tyre in this ins tance. The braking and driving

R
Furthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right).
It is only permissible tofit a di fferent wheel
size in theeve nt of a flat tyre in order to
drive tothe specialist workshop.
R Do not make any modifications tothe brake
sy stem, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may in validate theve hicle's
ge neral operating pe rmit.
R Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
sy stem: allfitted wheels mu stbe equipped
with functioning sensors forth e tyre pres‐
sure monitoring sy stem.
R Attemp eratures below 7 °C use winter tyres
or all-season tyres mar ked004D M+Sfor all
wheels. Wi
nter tyres pr ovide the best possible grip in
wintry road conditions.
R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tyres fitted.
If th e tyre's maximum speed is below that of
th eve hicle, this must be indicated byan
appropriate label in the driver's field of
vision.
R Run in new tyres at moderate speeds forthe
fi rs t10 0 km.
R Replace the tyres af ter six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear.
R When replacing with tyres that do not
fe ature run-flat characteristics: vehicles
with MOExtended tyres are not equipped
with a TIREFIT kit at thefa ctor y.Equip the
ve hicle with a TIREFIT kit af terre placing with
tyres that do not feature run-flat characteris‐
tics, e.g. winter tyres. %
You can permanently limit the maximum
ve hicle speed for driving with winter tyres
(/ page 211).
