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

cornering, when accelerating stronglyand
when braking. #
Do not exceed the permissible maxi‐
mum speed for MOExtended tyres. #
Avoid any abrupt steering and driving
manoeuvres as well as driving over
obs tacles (kerbs, pot holes, off-road). This applies, in pa

use. #
The defective tyre must be replaced in
eve rycase. Wi
th MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres), you can
continue todrive your vehicle even if there is a
tot al loss of pressure in one or more tyres. How‐
eve r,th e tyre af fected must not show any clearly
visible damage. Yo
u can recognise MOExtended tyres bythe
MOExtended marking which appears onthe side
wa ll of the tyre.
Ve hicles with tyre pressure loss warning sys‐
te m: MOExtended tyres may only be used in
conjunction wi than activated tyre pressure loss
wa rning sy stem.
Ve hicles with tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: MOExtended tyres may only be used in

nction of the ty repressure loss warning
sy stem
The tyre pressure loss warning sy stem warnsthe
driver bymeans of display messa ges when there
is a se vere tyre pressu reloss.
Af ter a change in tyre pressure, a wheel rotation
or a tyre change, or if you ha verefitted wheels or tyres,
the tyre pressure loss warning sy stem
has tobe restar ted (→ page 435).
The tyre pressure loss warning sy stem does not
re place the need toregular lych eck the tyre
pressures.
Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R ifth e tyre pressure is set incor rectly
R ifth ere is a sudden pressure loss caused, for
ex ample, byafo re ign object penetrating the
tyre
R ifth e pressure loss in se veral tyres decrea‐
ses at the same rate
The sy stem has a limited or dela yed function:
R when thero ad sur face is poo r,e.g. snow or
gra vel
R when driving with sn ow chains
R when driving in a very sporty driving style
with high cornering speeds or sudden accel‐
eration
R when towing a very heavy or large trailer R
when driving with a high load
