Obse rveth e information and warning
no tes on MOExtended tyres (run-flat
tyres). In
theeve nt of a flat tyre, thefo llowing options
are available depending on your vehicle's equip‐

R Vehicles with MOExtended tyres: it is pos‐
sible tocontinue the journey for a short
period of time. Make sure you obse rvethe
no tes on MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres)
(/ page 325).
R Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: you can repair
th e tyre so that it is possible tocontinue the
jou rney for a short period of time. Todo this,
use the TIREFIT kit (/ page 327). R

Avoid any abrupt steering and driving
manoeuvres as well as driving over
