MOExtended tires may only be used in

conjunction with the activated tire pressure

loss warning system or with the activated tire

pressure monitoring system.
The driving distance in partially laden

condition is approximately 50 miles (80 km),

and approximately 18 miles (30 km) when

fully loaded.
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving

distance 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

conditions/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.
Do not exceed a vehicle speed of 50 mph

(80 km/h).

G

WARNING

When driving in emergency mode, the driving

characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when

cornering, accelerating quickly and when

braking. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.

Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneuvers,

and driving over obstacles (curbs, potholes,

off-road). This applies in particular to a laden

vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:

R

you hear banging noises.

R

the vehicle starts to shake.

R

you see smoke and smell rubber.

R

ESP

®

is intervening constantly.

R

there are tears in the sidewalls of the tire.

After driving in emergency mode, have the

wheel rims checked at a qualified specialist

workshop with regard to their further use. The

defective tire must be replaced in every case.

i

When replacing one or all tires, make sure

that you only use tires marked

MOExtended. Also ensure that they are of

the specified size for the vehicle.

Battery

Important safety notes

Special tools and expert knowledge are

required when working on the battery, e.g.

removal and installing. You should therefore

have all work involving the battery carried out

at a qualified specialist workshop.

G

WARNING

Work carried out incorrectly on the battery

can, for example, lead to a short circuit and

damage your vehicle's electronic system. This

can disrupt driving safety systems such as
ABS (anti-lock braking system) or ESP

®

(Electronic Stability Program).

R

If ABS malfunctions, the wheels can lock

during braking. This limits the steerability

of the vehicle when braking and the braking

distance may increase. There is a risk of

accident.

R

If ESP

®

malfunctions, the vehicle will not be

stabilised if it starts to skid or a wheel starts

to spin. There is a risk of accident.

You should therefore have all work involving

the battery carried out at a qualified specialist

workshop.

G

WARNING

Comply with safety precautions and take

protective measures when handling batteries.

Risk of explosion

Fire, open flames and

smoking are prohibited

when handling the battery.

Avoid creating sparks.
