Measure
1.
Reduce your speed and carefully stop
the vehicle. Avoid violent or sudden
braking and steering manoeuvres.
2.
Check whether the vehicle is equipped
with standard tyres or run-flat tyres.
The symbol identifying run-flat tyres,
, is a circle with the letters
RSC on the tyre side wall.
What to do in the event of a flat
tyre
Standard tyres
1.
Identify the damaged tyre.
To do this, check the tyre inflation pres-
sure in all four tyres, for example using
the tyre pressure indicator of a flat tyre
kit.
If all four tyres are inflated to the cor-
rect tyre inflation pressures, the Tyre
Pressure Monitor might not have been
reset. Perform a reset.
If all four tyres are inflated to the cor-
rect tyre inflation pressures, the runflat
indicator might not have been initial-
ised. In this case initialise the system.
If it is not possible to identify tyre dam-
age, contact a Service Partner of the
manufacturer or another qualified Serv-
ice Partner or a specialist workshop.
2.
Repair the flat tyre, for example using a
flat tyre kit or by changing the wheel.
The use of sealant, for example a flat tyre
kit, can damage the TPM wheel electronics.
In this case, have the electronics replaced at
the next opportunity.
Run-flat tyres
Safety notes
WARNING
A run-flat tyre which has low tyre inflation
pressure or no tyre inflation pressure at all
will change the vehicle's handling charac-
teristics, for example there may be re-
duced directional stability when braking,
longer braking distances and different
self-steering characteristics. There is a
danger of accidents.
Drive with care and do not exceed a speed
of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with a flat tyre can re-
sult in heavy trailers starting to slalom.
There is a danger of accidents or damage
to property. When driving with a trailer
and a flat tyre, do not exceed the speed of
60 km/h, approximately 35 mph. In case of
swaying or fishtailing motions, brake im-
mediately and make the necessary steer-
ing corrections as carefully as possible.
Maximum speed
If a tyre is damaged you can continue your
journey, but do not exceed a maximum
speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.
Continuing a journey with a flat tyre
If you continue a journey with a flat tyre:
1.
Avoid violent or sudden braking and
steering manoeuvres.
2.
Do not exceed a speed of 80 km/h,
50 mph.
3.
As soon as there is an opportunity,
check the tyre inflation pressure in all
four tyres.
