MO Extended system*
The MO Extended system allows you to

is a total loss of pressure in one or more
tires.
You may only use the MO Extended system
in conjunction with the Run Flat Indicator*
(Canada vehicles) (
컄
page 293) or TPMS
(U.S. vehicles) (
컄
page 295).
For information on driving in case of pres-
sure loss in one or more tires (emergency
mode), see the “Operation” section

Follow recommended tire inflation
pressures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear excessively and/or unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from being
overheated.
Warning!
G
Follow recommended tire inflation
pressures.
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires
can adversely affect handling and ride
comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping
distance, and result in sudden deflation
(blowout) because they are more likely to
become punctured or damaged by road
debris, potholes etc.
