visible damage.
Yo u can recognise MOExtended tyres bythe
MOExtended marking which appears on the side
wa ll of the tyre.
Ve hicles with tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: MOExtended tyres may only be used in
conjunction wi than activated tyre pressure mon‐
itoring sy stem.
If a pressure loss warning message appears in
th e multifunction displa y,proceed as follo ws:
R Check the tyre for dama ge.
