WARNING
Continuing to drive with a flat tyre can result in
heavy trailers starting to slalom. There is a dan‐
ger of accidents or damage to property. When
driving with a trailer and a flat tyre, do not ex‐
ceed the speed of 60 km/h, 35 mph. If the
trailer starts to snake, brake immediately and
make the necessary steering corrections as
carefully as possible.
Maximum speed
If a tyre is damaged you can continue your jour‐
ney, but do not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h, 50 mph.
Continuing a journey with a flat tyre
Note the following if you continue a journey with
a flat tyre:
1. Avoid heavy braking and sudden 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.
Possible driving distance with a deflated
tyre
The possible driving distance varies depending
on the load and stresses the vehicle is subjected
to, for example speed, the nature of the road sur‐
face, outside temperature. The driving distance
may be shorter or, if a more careful driving style
is adopted, may also be longer.
If the vehicle is moderately loaded and used un‐
der favourable conditions, it is possible to travel
up to 80 km, 50 miles.
Driving properties with damaged tyres
On a journey with damaged tyres, handling char‐
acteristics change and may result in the following
situations, for example:
▷ The vehicle losing traction more quickly.
▷ Longer braking distances.
▷ Different self-steering characteristics.
Adapt your driving style. Avoid abrupt steering or
driving over obstacles, for example kerbs or pot‐
holes.
Final tyre failure
Vibration or loud noises during the journey may
be an indication that the tyre has finally failed.
Reduce your speed and stop the vehicle. Parts of
the tyre could detach, which might lead to an ac‐
cident.
Do not continue driving, but instead contact a
Service Partner of the manufacturer or another
qualified Service Partner or a specialist work‐
shop.
System limits
Temperature
The tyre inflation pressure depends on the tem‐
perature of the tyre.
The tyre inflation pressure increases as the tyre
temperature increases, for example during driv‐
ing or due to exposure to sunlight.
Tyre inflation pressure decreases if the tyre tem‐
perature drops.
Through this behaviour, a warning may be trig‐
gered if there are major temperature drops, due
to the given warning limits.
After a temperature-related warning, the speci‐
fied pressures are displayed again on the Control
Display after driving a short distance.
Sudden loss of tyre inflation
pressure
No warning can be given in the event of extreme,
sudden tyre failure caused by external factors.
Reset not carried out
Tyres with special approval: the system will not
function correctly if a reset has not been carried
