General notes

With MOExtended tires (tires with run flat

characteristics), you can continue to drive

your vehicle even if there is a total loss of

pressure in one or more tires. The affected

tire must not show any clearly visible damage.
You can recognize MOExtended tires by the

MOExtended marking which appears on the

sidewall of the tire. You will find this marking

next to the tire size designation, the load-

bearing capacity and the speed index

(

Y

page 351).

MOExtended tires may only be used in

conjunction with an active tire pressure loss

warning system or with an active tire pressure

monitor.
If the pressure loss warning message

appears in the multifunction display:

R

Observe the instructions in the display

messages (

Y

page 258).

R

Check the tire for damage.

If driving on, observe the following notes.

The maximum driving distance is

approximately 50 miles (80 km) when the

vehicle is partially laden and approximately

18 miles (30 km) when the vehicle is fully
