WARNING Risk of accident when driving
in eme rgency mode
When driving in emer gency mode, the han‐
dling characteristics are impaired. e.g. when
cornering, when accelerating stronglyand
when braking. #
Do not exceed the permissible maxi‐
mum speed. #
Avoid any abrupt steering and driving
maneuvers as well as driving over
obs tacles (curbs, pot holes, off-road). This applies, in pa
rticular, toa loaded
ve hicle. #
Stop driving in the emer gency mode if
yo u notice:

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
