MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat

properties)

General notes

With MOExtended tires (tires with run flat

characteristics), you can continue to drive

your vehicle even if there is a total loss of

pressure in one or more tires. The affected

tire must not show any clearly visible damage.

You can recognize MOExtended tires by the

MOExtended marking which appears on the

sidewall of the tire. You will find this marking

next to the tire size designation, the load-

bearing capacity and the speed index

(Y page 328).

MOExtended tires may only be used in

conjunction with an active tire pressure loss

warning system or with an active tire pressure

monitor.

If the pressure loss warning message

appears in the multifunction display:

Observe the instructions in the display

messages (Y page 236).

Check the tire for damage.

If driving on, observe the following notes.

The maximum driving distance is

approximately 50 miles (80 km) when the

vehicle is partially laden and approximately

18 miles (30 km) when the vehicle is fully

laden.

In addition to the vehicle load, the driving

distance possible depends upon:

Speed

Road condition

Outside temperature

The driving distance possible in run-flat mode

may be reduced by extreme driving

Flat tire

297

Breakdown assistance

conditions/maneuvers, or it can be increased

through a moderate style of driving.

The maximum permissible distance which

can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from

the moment the tire pressure loss warning

appears in the multifunction display.

You mustnot exceed a maximum speed of

50 mph (80 km/h).

i When replacing one or all tires, make sure

that you use only tires:

of the size specified for the vehicle and

marked "MOExtended"

If a tire has gone flat and cannot be

replaced with a MOExtended tire, a

standard tire may be used as a temporary

measure. Make sure that you use the

proper size and type (summer or winter

tire).

Important safety notes

WARNING

When driving in emergency mode, the driving

characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when

cornering, accelerating quickly and when

braking. There is a risk of an accident.

Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.

Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneuvers,

and driving over obstacles (curbs, potholes,

off-road). This applies in particular to a laden

vehicle.

Stop driving in emergency mode if:

you hear banging noises.

the vehicle starts to shake.

you see smoke and smell rubber.

ESP

is intervening constantly.

there are tears in the sidewalls of the tire.

After driving in emergency mode, have the

wheel rims checked at a qualified specialist

workshop with regard to their further use. The

defective tire must be replaced in every case.

Battery (vehicle)

Important safety notes

Special tools and expert knowledge are

required when working on the battery, e.g.

removal and installing. You should therefore

have all work involving the battery carried out

at a qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

Work carried out incorrectly on the battery

can, for example, lead to a short circuit and

damage your vehicle's electronic system. This

can disrupt driving safety systems such as

ABS (anti-lock braking system) or ESP

(Electronic Stability Program).

If ABS malfunctions, the wheels can lock

during braking. This limits the steerability

of the vehicle when braking and the braking

distance may increase. There is a risk of

accident.

If ESP

malfunctions, the vehicle will not be

stabilized if it starts to skid or a wheel starts

to spin. There is a risk of accident.

You should therefore have all work involving

the battery carried out at a qualified specialist

workshop.

WARNING

Electrostatic build-up can lead to the creation

of sparks, which could ignite the highly

explosive gases of a battery. There is a risk of

an explosion.

Before handling the battery, touch the vehicle

body to remove any existing electrostatic

build-up.

The highly flammable gas mixture forms when

charging the battery as well as when jump-

starting.
