ties)
& WARNING Risk of accident when driving
in li mp-home mode
When driving in emergency mode the han‐
dling characteristics are impaired, e.g. when
cornering, when accelerating stronglyand
when braking.
#Do not exceed the specified maximum
speed.
#Av oid any abrupt steering and driving
maneuvers as well as driving over
obs tacles (curbs, pot holes, off-road).
This applies, in part icular,toa loaded
ve hicle.
#Stop driving in the emer gency mode if
yo u notice:

eve rycase.
With MOExtended tires (run-flat tires), you can
continue todrive your vehicle even if there is a
tot al loss of pressure in one or more tires. How‐
eve r,th e tire af fected must not show any clearly
visible damage.
Yo u can recognize MOExtended tires bythe
MOExtended marking which appears onthe side
wa ll of the tire.

tion compressor.
The tire inflation compressor is switched on.
The tire is inflated. Fir st, tire sealant is pum‐
ped into the tire. The pressure may brief ly
ri se toappr oximately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi). Do not switch off
the tire inflation compres‐
sor du ring this phase.
#Let the tire inflation compressor runfo r a
maximum of ten minu tes.
The tire should then ha veattained a tire
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
If tire sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
af fected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble touse clean water.
If tire sealant gets on your clo thing, ha veit
cleaned as soon as possible with per chloroe thy‐
lene.
