Tyre pressure monitoring - driveable punctured tyres*
If SST (Self Supporting run flat Tires)* is selected, the car is also equipped with TPMS(p. 330). This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side wall that makes continued driving possi-ble to a limited extent despite the tyre losingall or some of its pressure. These tyres are fit-ted on a special rim. (Normal tyres can alsobe fitted to this rim.) If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yellow TPMS lamp in the combined instru-ment panel illuminates and a message isshown in the information display. If thisoccurs, reduce speed to max. 80 km/h. Thetyre must be replaced as soon as possible. Drive carefully, in some cases it can be diffi- cult to see which tyre is faulty. In order toestablish which tyre needs attention, checkall four tyres.
WARNING
Only people with knowledge of SST tyres should fit them. SST tyres must only be fitted together with TPMS. After an error message about low tyre pressure has been shown, do not drivefaster than 80 km/h. Maximum mileage before tyre replacement is 80 km. Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking or turning. SST tyres must be replaced if they are damaged or punctured.
