CareMaintenance and care

MOExtended tyres may be used only in conjunc-
tion with an activated tyre pressure loss warning
system or tyre pressure monitor.
If a tyre pressure loss warning message
appears on the multifunction display:
R observe the instructions in the display mes-
sages (Y page 273)
R check the tyre for damage
R if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is approximately 80 km when the vehicle is parti-
ally laden and approximately 30 km when the
vehicle is fully laden.
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible in run-flat mode depends on the:
R vehicle speed
R road condition
R outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving conditions/
manoeuvres, or it can be increased through a
moderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is counted from the moment the tyre pressure loss
warning appears on the multifunction display.
You must not exceed a maximum permissible
speed of 80 km/h.
When replacing one or all tyres, observe the fol-
lowing specifications for your vehicle's tyres:
R size
R the type and
R the "MOExtended" marking
If a tyre has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with an MOExtended tyre, a standard tyre may
be used as a temporary measure. Make sure
that you use the proper size and type (summer
or winter tyre).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equip-
ped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is there-
fore recommended that you additionally equip
your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. win-
ter tyres. A TIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualified specialist workshop.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
When driving in emergency mode, the driving characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when corner- ing, accelerating quickly and when braking.
There is a risk of accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving manoeu-
vres, and driving over obstacles (kerbs, pot-
holes, 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 tyre.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
wheel rims checked at a qualified specialist
workshop with regard to their further use. The faulty tyre must be replaced. TIREFIT kit
Important safety notes TIREFIT is a tyre sealant.
You can use TIREFIT to seal punctures of up to
4 mm, particularly those in the tyre tread. You
can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures down
to Ò20 †. G
WARNING
In the following situations, the tyre sealant is
unable to provide sufficient breakdown assis- tance, as it is unable to seal the tyre properly:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
larger than those mentioned above.
R the wheel rim is damaged.
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not drive any further. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop. G
WARNING
The tyre sealant is harmful and causes irrita-
tion. It must not come into contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing or be swallowed. Do not 342
Flat tyreBreakdown assistance

If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop. H
Environmental note
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
The recommended tyre pressures for various
operating conditions can be found in the tyre
pressure table inside the fuel filler flap
(Y page 162).
Operation with an emergency spare wheel:
information on operation with an emergency
spare wheel can be found under "Emergency
spare wheel" (Y page 369).
Operation with a trailer: the applicable value
for the rear axle is the maximum value stated in the tyre pressure table inside the fuel filler flap.
The tyre pressure table may state tyre pressures for different load conditions. These are defined
in the table as different numbers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The actual number of
seats may differ from this.
If tyre sizes are not specified, the tyre pressures
stated on the tyre pressure table apply for all
tyres approved at the factory for this vehicle. If a tyre size or several tyre sizes precede a tyre
pressure, the tyre pressure information follow-
ing is valid only for these tyre sizes.
If the preceding tire sizes include the symbol
+, the tyre pressure information following
shows alternative tyre pressures. These tyre
pressures may improve the ride comfort of your
vehicle. Fuel consumption may then increase
slightly.
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not give any reliable indication of the tyre pres-
sure. On vehicles fitted with the electronic tyre pressure monitor, you can also check the tyre
pressure using the on-board computer.
If possible, correct tyre pressures only when the
tyres are cold.
The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours
and
R if the vehicle has not been driven further than
1.6 km
Depending on the outside temperature, the
vehicle speed and the load on the tyres, the tyre temperature and thus the tyre pressure changes by approximately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/1.5 psi) per
10 †. Take this into account when checking the
pressure of warm tyres. Correct the tyre pres-
sure only if it is too low for the current operating
condition.
Driving with a tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the service life of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have a negative effect on handling character-
istics and thus driving safety (e.g. aquaplan-
ing)
The tyre pressure values given for low loads are
minimum values that offer you good driving
comfort characteristics.
However, you can also use the values given for
higher loads. These are permissible and will not
adversely affect the running of the vehicle. Tyre pressure loss warning system
General notes While the vehicle is in motion, the tyre pressure
loss warning system monitors the set tyre pres-
sure using the rotational speed of the wheels.
This enables the system to detect significant
pressure loss in a tyre. If the rotational speed of
a wheel changes as a result of a loss of tire
pressure, a corresponding warning message will appear in the multifunction display.
You can recognise the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing by the Run Flat Indicator active Run Flat Indicator active
Restart with OK
Restart with OK message, which appears in
the Service
Service menu of the multifunction display.
Information on the message display can be
found in the "Restarting the tyre pressure loss
warning system" section (Y page 361).360
Tyre pressureWheels and tyres

Important safety notes
The tyre pressure warning system does not warn
you of an incorrectly set tyre pressure. Observe
the notes on the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 359).
The tyre pressure loss warning system does not
replace the need to regularly check the tyre
pressure. An even loss of pressure on several
tyres at the same time cannot be detected by
the tyre pressure loss warning system.
The tyre pressure loss warning system is not
able to warn you of a sudden loss of air, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of air, bring the vehicle to
a halt by braking carefully. Avoid abrupt steering manoeuvres.
The function of the tyre pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
R snow chains are fitted on your vehicle
R road conditions are wintry
R you are driving on a loose surface (e.g. sand or
gravel)
R you adopt a very sporty driving style (corner-
ing at high speeds or driving with high rates of
acceleration)
R you are towing a very heavy or large trailer
R you are driving with a heavy load (in the vehi-
cle or on the roof)
Restarting the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system Restart the tyre pressure loss warning system if
you have:
R changed the tyre pressure
R changed the wheels or tyres
R fitted new wheels or tyres
X Before restarting, make sure that the tyre
pressures are set properly on all four tyres for
the respective operating conditions. The rec-
ommended tyre pressures can be found in the
tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap.
The tyre pressure loss warning system can
only give reliable warnings if you have set the correct tyre pressure. If an incorrect tyre
pressure is set, this incorrect value will be
monitored.

General notes If a tyre pressure monitor system is fitted, the
vehicle's wheels have sensors fitted that moni-
tor the tyre pressures in all four tyres. The tyre
pressure monitor warns you if the pressure
drops in one or more of the tyres. The tyre pres- sure monitor functions only if the corresponding
sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Information on tyre pressures is shown on the
multifunction display. After a few minutes of
driving, the current tyre pressure of each tyre is
shown in the Service Servicemenu of the multifunction
display; see illustration (example). Tyre pressure
361Wheels and tyres Z

For further information on displaying this mes-
sage, refer to the "Checking the tyre pressure
electronically" section (Y page 362).
Important safety notes It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre
pressure to the recommended cold tyre pres-
sure suitable for the operating situation
(Y page 359). Note that the correct tyre pres-
sure for the current operating situation must
first be taught-in to the tyre pressure monitor. If
a substantial loss of pressure occurs, the warn- ing threshold for the warning message is aligned
to the taught-in reference values. Restart the
tyre pressure monitor after adjusting to the cold tyre pressure (Y page 363). The current pres-
sures are saved as new reference values. This
ensures that a warning message appears only if
the tyre pressure drops significantly.
The tyre pressure monitor does not warn you of
an incorrectly set tyre pressure. Observe the
notes on the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 359).
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tyre
is penetrated by a foreign object. In the event of
a sudden loss of air, bring the vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid abrupt steering
manoeuvres.
The tyre pressure monitor has a yellow warning
lamp on the instrument cluster for indicating a
pressure loss or malfunction. Depending on how
the warning lamp flashes or lights up, a tyre
pressure that is too low or a malfunction in the
tyre pressure monitor is indicated:
R If the warning lamp is lit continuously, the tyre
pressure on one or more tyres is significantly too low. The tyre pressure monitor is not mal-
functioning.
R If the warning lamp flashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the
tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
In addition to the warning lamp, a message
appears on the multifunction display. Observe
the information on display messages
(Y page 273).
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunction
of the tyre pressure monitor to be indicated. A
malfunction will be indicated by the tyre pres-
sure warning lamp flashing for approximately
one minute and then remaining lit. When the
fault has been rectified, the tyre pressure warn- ing lamp goes out after you have driven for a few
minutes.
The tyre pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at a filling station using a pressure gauge.
The tyre pressures shown by the on-board com- puter refer to those measured at sea level. At
high altitudes, the tyre pressure values indica-
ted by a pressure gauge are higher than those
shown by the on-board computer. In this case,
do not reduce the tyre pressures.
The operation of the tyre pressure monitor can
be affected by interference from radio transmit- ting equipment (e.g. cordless headphones, two-
way radios) that may be being operated in or
near the vehicle.

the same as the current tyre pressure of the
emergency spare wheel.
Warning messages of the tyre pressuremonitor If the tyre pressure monitor detects a pressure
loss in one or more tyres, a warning message is shown on the multifunction display. The yellow
tyre pressure warning lamp then lights up:
R If the Please correct tyre pressure
Please correct tyre pressure
message appears on the multifunction dis-
play, the tyre pressure in at least one tyre is
too low. The tyre pressure must be corrected
when the opportunity arises.
R If the Check tyre(s)
Check tyre(s) message appears on
the multifunction display, the tyre pressure in
at least one tyre has dropped significantly.
The tyres must be checked.
R If the Warning tyre defect
Warning tyre defect message
appears on the multifunction display, the tyre
pressure in at least one tyre has dropped sud- denly. The tyres must be checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the display messages in the "Tyres" section
(Y page 273).
If the position of the wheels on the vehicle is
changed, the tyre pressures may be displayed in the wrong positions for a short time. After a few
minutes of driving, this is rectified and the tyre
pressures are displayed in the correct positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamps go out. The monitor uses the cur-
rently set tyre pressures as the reference values for monitoring. In most cases, the tyre pressure
monitor will automatically detect the new refer- ence values after you have changed the tyre pressure. However, you can also set reference
values manually as described here. The tyre
pressure monitor then monitors the new tyre
pressure values.
