Storage
▷ Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and
dark place.
▷ Always protect tires against all contact with
oil, grease, and solvents.
▷ Do not leave tires in plastic bags.
▷ Remove dirt from wheels or tires.
Runflat tires
Principle
Runflat tires permit continued driving under
limited conditions even in the event of a com-
plete tire pressure loss.
General information
The wheels consist of tires that are self-sup-
porting, to a limited degree, and possibly spe-
cial rims.
The reinforcement of the sidewall allows the
tire to remain drivable to a limited degree in
the event of a tire pressure loss.
Follow the instructions for continued driving
with a flat tire.
Safety information
Warning
The vehicle handles differently when a runflat
tire has insufficient or no tire pressure; for in-
stance, reduced directional stability when
braking, braking distances are longer and the
self-steering properties will change. There is
a risk of accident. Drive moderately and do
not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Identification
Runflat tires are labeled with a circular icon
containing the letters RSC marked on the tire
sidewall.
Repairing a flat tire
Safety precautions
▷ Park the vehicle as far away as possible
from passing traffic and on solid ground.
▷ Turn on the hazard warning system.
▷ Secure the vehicle against rolling away by
setting the parking brake.
▷ Turn the steering wheel until the front
wheels are in the straight-ahead position
and engage the steering wheel lock.
▷ Have all vehicle occupants get out and
make sure that they remain outside the
hazardous area such as behind a guardrail.
▷ If necessary, set up a warning triangle at an
appropriate distance.
Tire repair set
Principle
With the tire repair set, minor tire damage can
be sealed temporarily to enable continued
driving.
