When the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the flat tire monitor may not
have been initialized. In this case, initialize
the system.
Possible distance traveled with a
depressurized tire
The possible distance which may be safely
traveled varies depending on how the vehicle
is loaded and used, e.g., speed, road condi-
tions, outside temperature. The distance trav-
eled may be less but may also be more if an
economical driving style is used.
If the vehicle is loaded with an average
weight and used under favorable conditions,
the possible distance traveled may be up to
50 miles/80 km.
Vehicle handling with damaged tires
Vehicles driven with a damaged tire will han-
dle differently, potentially leading to conditions
such as the following:
▷ Greater likelihood of skidding of the vehicle.
▷ Longer braking distances.
▷ Changed self-steering properties.
Modify your driving style. Avoid abrupt steering
or driving over obstacles, for instance curbs or
potholes.
Final tire failure
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indi-
cate the final failure of a tire.
Reduce speed and stop; otherwise, pieces of
the tire could come loose and cause an acci-
dent.
Do not continue driving. Contact an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
System limits
The system could be delayed or malfunction in
the following situations:
▷ A natural, even tire pressure loss in all
four tires will not be recognized. Therefore,
check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
▷ Sudden serious tire damage caused by ex-
ternal circumstances cannot be recognized
in advance.
▷ The system has not been initialized.
▷ When driving on a snowy or slippery road.
▷ Sporty driving style: slip on traction wheels,
high lateral acceleration (drifting).
▷ When driving with tire chains.
Changing wheels/tires
General information
When using runflat tires or a tire repair set, the
wheel does not always need to be changed
immediately in the event of a breakdown when
there is tire pressure loss.
If needed, the appropriate tool for a wheel
change, e.g., a jack, is available as an acces-
sory from an authorized service center, an-
other qualified service center or a repair shop.
Safety information
Warning
The jack is only provided for short-term lifting
of the vehicle for wheel changes. Even if all
safety precautions are observed, there is a
risk of the raised vehicle falling if the jack tips
over. There is a risk of injury or danger to life.
When the vehicle is raised with the jack, do
not lie under the vehicle and do not switch on
the drive-ready state.
