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 313).
MOExtended tires may only be used in
conjunction with an active tire pressure loss
warning system.
If the pressure loss warning message
appears in the multifunction display:
R
Observe the instructions in the display
messages (
Y page 219).
