With MOExtended tires (run-flat tires), you can
continue to drive your vehicle even if there is a
total loss of pressure in one or more tires. How-
ever, the tire affected must not show any clearly
visible damage.
You can recognize MOExtended tires by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the side
wall of the tire.

MOExtended tires may only be used in conjunc-
tion with an activated tire pressure monitoring
system.

The driving distance possible in emergency mode
may vary depending on the driving style. Observe

If a tire has gone flat and cannot be replaced with
an MOExtended tire, you can use a standard tire
as a temporary measure.
