MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat

properties)

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 371).

MOExtended tires may only be used in con-

junction 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 273).

R

Check the tire for damage.

R

If driving on, observe the following notes.

The maximum driving distance is approx-

imately 50 miles (80 km) when the vehicle is

partially laden and approximately 18 miles

(30 km) when the vehicle is fully laden.
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-

tance possible depends upon:

R

Speed

R

Road condition

R

Outside temperature

The driving distance possible in run-flat mode

may be reduced by extreme driving condi-

tions/maneuvers, or it can be increased

through a moderate style of driving.
The maximum permissible distance which

can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from

the moment the tire pressure loss warning

appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of

50 mph (80 km/h).

i

When replacing one or all tires, make sure

that you use only tires:

R

of the size specified for the vehicle and

R

marked "MOExtended"

If a tire has gone flat and cannot be

replaced with a MOExtended tire, a stand-

ard tire may be used as a temporary meas-

ure. Make sure that you use the proper size

and type (summer or winter tire).

i

Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires

are not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the

factory. It is therefore recommended that

you additionally equip your vehicle with a

TIREFIT kit if you mount tires that do not

feature run-flat properties, e.g. winter tires.

A TIREFIT kit may be obtained from a quali-

fied specialist workshop.
