normal tyres. Comply with the notes on
run-flat tyres and continuing to drive with
these tyres.
Flat tyre message
A yellow warning lamp is illuminated
in the instrument cluster.
In addition, a symbol with a Check Control
message is shown on the Control Display.
Symbol Possible cause
There is a flat tyre or substantial
loss of tyre inflation pressure.
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,
see page 280 , 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.
