Wheels and tyres
Tyre pressure monitoring (option)
Driveable punctured tyres
(option)
If Self Supporting run flat Tyres (SST) are
specified then the car is also equipped with
TPMS.
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced
side wall that makes continued driving
possible despite the tyre losing some air.
These tyres are fitted on a special rim.
(Normal tyres can also be fitted to this rim)
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the
yellow TPMS lamp on the instrument panel
illuminates and a message is shown in the
text panel. If this occurs, reduce speed to
max. 80 km/h. The tyre must be replaced as
soon as possible.
Drive carefully, in some cases it can be
difficult to see which tyre is faulty. In order to
establish which tyre needs attention, check
all four tyres.
WARNING!
• SST tyres should only be fitted by
individuals with expertise on SST tyres.
• SST tyres must only be fitted together
with TPMS.
• After a fault message on low tyre
pressure has been shown, do not drive
faster than 80 km/h.
• Maximum driving distance to tyre
change is 80 km.
• Avoid hard driving.
• SST tyres must be replaced if they are
damaged or punctured.
