When driving in emergency mode, the handling characteristics are impaired. e.g. when cornering, when accelerating strongly and when braking.
banging noise
vehicle vibration
smoke which smells like rubber
continuous ESP® intervention
cracks in tire side walls
With MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres), you can continue to drive your vehicle even if there is a total loss of pressure in one or more tyres. However, the tyre affected must not show any clearly visible damage.
You can recognise MOExtended tyres by the MOExtended marking which appears on the side wall of the tyre.
Vehicles with tyre pressure loss warning system: MOExtended tyres may only be used in conjunction with an activated tyre pressure loss warning system.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system: MOExtended tyres may only be used in conjunction with an activated tyre pressure monitoring system.
Check the tyre for damage.
If driving on, observe the following notes.
Load condition | Driving distance possible in emergency mode |
---|---|
Partially laden | 80 km |
Fully laden | 30 km |
The driving distance possible in emergency mode may vary depending on the driving style. Observe the maximum permissible speed of 80 km/h.
If a tyre has gone flat and cannot be replaced with an MOExtended tyre, you can use a standard tyre as a temporary measure.
