If SST (Self Supporting run flat Tires)

is
selected, the car is also equipped with TPMS
(p. 332).
This type of tyre has a specially reinforced side
wall that makes continued driving possible to a
limited extent despite the tyre losing all or some
of its pressure. These tyres are fitted on a special
rim. (Normal tyres can also be fitted to this rim.)
If an SST tyre loses tyre pressure then the yellow
TPMS lamp in the combined instrument panel
illuminates and a message is shown in the infor-
mation display. If this occurs, reduce speed to
max. 80 km/h (50 mph). The tyre must be
changed as soon as possible.
Drive carefully, in some cases it can be difficult to
see which tyre is faulty. In order to establish
which tyre needs attention, check all four tyres.
WARNING
Only people with knowledge of SST tyres
should fit them.
SST tyres must only be fitted together with
TPMS.
After a message about low tyre pressure has
been shown, do not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).
Maximum mileage before tyre replacement is
80 km.
Avoid hard driving such as sudden braking or
turning.
SST tyres must be replaced if they are dam-
aged or punctured.
