Mercedes-Benz 2013 CLA, Owner'S Manual

Page: 301 / 352

You must not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h.
i
When replacing one or all tyres, make
sure that you use only:
R
the tyre size specified for the vehicle and
R
tyre(s) marked "MOExtended"
If a tyre has gone flat and cannot be
replaced with an MOExtended tyre, a
standard tyre may be used as a temporary
measure. Make sure that you use the
proper size and type (summer or winter
tyre).
i
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
characteristics, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT
kit can be obtained from a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre.
There is a risk of accident.
