MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres)

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.

If a pressure loss warning message appears in the multifunction display:

  • Check the tyres for damage

  • If driving on, observe the following notes

WARNING Risk of accident when driving in run-flat mode

When driving in run-flat mode, the handling characteristics are impaired. e. g. when cornering, when accelerating strongly and when braking.

Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed.
Avoid any abrupt steering and driving manoeuvres as well as driving over obstacles (kerbs, pot holes, off-road). This applies, in particular, to a loaded vehicle.
Stop driving in run-flat mode if you notice:

  • banging noise

  • vehicle vibration

  • smoke which smells like rubber

  • continuous ESP® intervention

  • cracks in tyre side walls

After driving in run-flat mode, have the rims checked by a qualified specialist workshop with regard to their further use.
The defective tyre must be replaced in every case.
Driving distance possible in limp-home mode after the pressure loss warning

  • The driving distance possible in limp-home mode may vary depending on the driving style.

  • Maximum permissible speed 50 mph (80 km/h).

If a tyre has gone flat and cannot be replaced with an MOExtended tyre, a standard tyre may be used as a temporary measure.
