Warning!
In emergency mode, your vehicle’s driving
characteristics are diminished in such situa-
tions as:
ț
ț
ț
ț
ț
you notice knocking sounds
the vehicle starts to shake
smoke develops and you smell rubber
ESP® is intervening continuously
ț
ț
ț
driving around curves
while braking
you notice tears on the tire sidewalls
while accelerating rapidly
After driving in emergency mode, you must
have the rims inspected by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center to check if they are
suitable for further use. The failed tire must
be replaced in any case.
Therefore, your driving style must be adapt-
ed accordingly. Avoid abrupt steering and
driving maneuvers, as well as driving over
obstacles (road curbs, potholes, or off-road
areas). This is especially important if the ve-
hicle is heavily loaded.
i When replacing individual or all tires on the
vehicle, make sure only matching tires marked
with “MOExtended” are mounted in the size
specified for your vehicle (୴ page 449).
The emergency driving distance that can be
achieved greatly depends on the demands
placed on the vehicle. Depending on speed,
load, driving maneuvers, road conditions,
outside temperature, etc., the distance can
be significantly shorter or, if the vehicle is
driven cautiously, somewhat longer.
