The maximum driving distanc
eis
approximately 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
distanc epossible depends upon:
R Speed
R Road condition
R Outside temperature
The driving distanc epossible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving
conditions/maneuvers, or it can be increased
through amoderate style of driving.
The maximum permissible distanc ewhich
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 amaximum 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 at ire has gone flat and cannot be
replaced with aMOExtended tire, a
standard tire may be used as atemporary
measure. Make sure that you use the
proper size and type (summer or winter
tire).
i Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires
are not equipped with aTIREFIT 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.
AT IREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualified specialist workshop.
