tyre size designation, the load-bearing capa-
city and the speed index.
MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-
junction with an active tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitoring
system.
If the pressure loss warning message
appears in the multifunction display:
R observe the instructions in the display mes-
sages (Y page 293).
R check the tyre for damage.
R if driving on, observe the following notes.
The maximum driving distance is approx-
