stability. There is a risk of accident. Do not
continue driving if the vehicle is equipped
with normal tires. Follow the information
on runflat tires and continued driving with
these tires.
Indication of a flat tire
A yellow warning light is illuminated
in the instrument cluster.
In addition, an icon with a Check Control
message appears on the Control Display.
Icon Possible cause
There is a flat tire or a major tire
pressure loss.
Measure
1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously.
Avoid sudden braking and steering ma-
neuvers.
2. Check whether the vehicle is fitted with
standard tires or runflat tires.
Runflat tires, refer to page
259 , are la-
beled with a circular icon containing the
letters RSC marked on the tire sidewall.
Actions in the event of a flat tire
Standard tires
1. Identify the damaged tire.
To do this, check the tire pressure in all
four tires, for instance using the tire
pressure display of a flat tire kit.
If the tire pressure in all four tires is
correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may
not have been reset. In this case, per-
form the reset.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor
may not have been initialized. In this
case, initialize the system.
If identification of flat tire damage is
not possible, please contact a dealer’s
service center or another qualified serv-
ice center or repair shop.
2. Repair the flat tire, e.g., with a flat tire
kit or by changing the wheel.
Use of sealing compound, for instance from
the flat tire kit, may damage the wheel elec-
tronics. In this case, have the electronics
checked and replaced at the next opportu-
nity.
Runflat tires
Safety information
Warning
The vehicle handles differently when a
runflat tire has insufficient or no tire pres-
sure; for instance, reduced directional sta-
bility when braking, braking distances are
longer and the self-steering properties will
change. There is a risk of accident. Drive
moderately and do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h.
Maximum speed
You may continue driving with a damaged
tire at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h.
Continued driving with a flat tire
If continuing to drive with a damaged tire:
1. Avoid sudden braking and steering ma-
neuvers.
2. Do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h.
3. Check the tire inflation pressure in all
four tires at the next opportunity.
If the tire inflation pressure in all four
tires is correct, the Flat Tire Monitor
may not have been initialized. In this
case, initialize the system.
