Warning!

G

The Run Flat Indicator does not provide a

warning for wrongly selected tire inflation

pressures. Always adjust tire inflation pres-

sure according to the Tire and Loading Infor-

mation placard on the driver’s door B-pillar

(

page 296) or, if available, on the tire in-

flation pressure label located on the inside

of the fuel filler flap.

The Run Flat Indicator does not replace reg-

ular checks of the tire inflation pressures

since a gradual pressure loss in more than

one tire cannot be detected by the Run Flat

Indicator.

The Run Flat Indicator is not able to issue a

warning due to a sudden dramatic loss of

tire inflation pressure (e.g. tire blowout

caused by a foreign object). In this case

bring the vehicle to a halt by carefully apply-

ing the brakes and avoiding abrupt steering

maneuvers.

Warning!

G

The Run Flat Indicator can only warn you in

a reliable manner if you have set the correct

tire inflation pressures for each tire.

If an incorrect tire inflation pressure was

set, the system will monitor the pressure ac-

cording to the incorrect value.
