In theeve nt of a flat tire, thefo llowing options
are available depending on your vehicle's equip‐
ment:
RVe hicles with MOExtended tires: it is pos‐
sible tocontinue the journey for a short
period of time. Make sure you observ eth e

MOExtended tires (run-flat tires)
Wi th MOExtended tires (run-flat tires), you can
continue todrive your vehicle even if there is a
to ta l loss of pressure in one or more tires. How‐
eve r,th e tire af fected must not show any clear ly
visible dama ge.
Yo u can recognize MOExtended tires bythe
MOExtended marking which appears on the side
wa ll of the tire.
Ve hicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: MOExtended tires may only be used in con‐
junction wi than activated tire pressure monitor‐
ing sy stem.
If a pressure loss warning message appears in
th e multifunction display:

WARNING Risk of accident when driving
in li mp-home mode
When driving in li mp-home mode, the han‐

cornering, when accelerating stronglyand
when braking.
#Do not exceed the maximum permissi‐
ble speed.
#Av oid any abrupt steering and driving
maneuvers as well as driving over
obs tacles (curbs, pot holes, cross-coun‐
try). This applies, in part icular,toa loa‐
ded vehicle.
#Stop driving in limp-home mode if you
notice:
Rbanging noise
Rve hicle vibration
Rsmoke which smells like rubber
Rcontinuous ESP®inter vention
Rcrac ksin tire side walls

The system checks the tire pressure of the tires
ins talled on theve hicle bymeans of a tire pres‐
sure sensor.
New tire pressure sensor, e.g. in winter tires, are
automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven.
The tire pressure appears in the multifunction
display (
→page 202).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tire temp erature is excessive, a warning will be
given:
RVi a display messages (→page 409).
RViath eh warning lamp in the instrument
clus ter (→page 440).
It is the driver's responsibility toset the tire
pressure tothere commended cold tire pressure
suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tire
pressure for cold tires using a tire pressure
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tire pressure forth e
cur rent operating situation must firs t be taught-
in to the tire pressure monitor.
In most cases, the tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m will auto matically update the new refere nce va
lues af teryo u ha vechanged the tire pressure.
Yo u can, ho wever,also update there fere nce val‐
ues byrestarting the tire pressure monitoring
sy stem manually (
→page 345).
Sy stem limitations
The t
ire pressure monitoring sy stem does not
issue a warning:
RIfth e tire pressure is set incor rectly.
RIfth ere is a sudden pressure loss caused, for
ex ample, byafo re ign object penetrating the
tire.
RIf th ere is a malfunction caused byano ther
ra dio signal source.
