Possible driving range with a
depressurized tire
The distance for which it may be possible to
drive safely varies depending on how the
vehicle is loaded and used, e.g., speed, road
conditions, external temperature. The driv-
ing range 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 distance for which it may be safe to
drive may be up to 50 miles/80 km.
Vehicle handling with damaged tires
Vehicles driven with a damaged tire will
handle differently, potentially leading to
conditions such as the following:
– Greater likelihood of swerving off
course.
– Longer braking distances.
– Changed self-steering properties.
Modify your driving style. Avoid abrupt
steering maneuvers or driving over obsta-
cles, for instance curbs or potholes.
Final tire failure
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can
indicate 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 a dealer’s
service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
System limits
The system could be delayed or malfunction
in the following situations:
– A natural, even tire inflation pressure
loss in all four tires will not be recog-
nized. Therefore, check the tire inflation
pressure regularly.
– Sudden serious tire damage caused by
external circumstances cannot be recog-
nized in advance.
– When the system has not been initial-
ized.
– When driving on a snowy or slippery
road surface.
– Sporty driving style: spinning traction
wheels, high lateral acceleration (drift-
ing).
– When driving with snow chains.
Intelligent Safety
Concept
Intelligent Safety enables central operation
of the driver assistance systems.
The intelligent safety systems can help pre-
vent an imminent collision.
– Approach control warning with City
light braking function, refer to
page 153 .
– Daytime pedestrian collision mitigation,
refer to page 157 .
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment in as-
sessing visibility and traffic situation.
There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving
style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where ap-
propriate.
