The warning lamps come on in yellow

What to do in case of a flat tire
Run-flat tires
With a damaged tire, is possible to continue
driving at speeds of up to 50 mph/80 km/h.
Do not continue driving if the vehicle is
not equipped with run-flat tires, refer to
page 200; continued driving could result in a
severe accident.<
The status is displayed.
Initialization
In the initialization, the set inflation pressures
are adopted as reference values for the detec-
tion of a flat tire. The initialization is begun by
confirmation of the inflation pressures.
When continuing to drive with a damaged tire:
1.
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu-
vers.
2.
3.
Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Do not initialize the system while snow chains
are attached.
At the next opportunity, check the air pres-
sure in all four tires.

If all four tires are inflated to the cor-
rect pressures, the Flat Tire Monitor
might not have been initialized. The system
must then be initialized.<
Possible travel distance with complete tire
pressure loss:

With a light load:
1 to 2 persons without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km
>
With a medium load:
2 persons, cargo area full, or 4 persons

Start the engine – do not drive away.
Start the initialization using "Reset".
Start driving.
approx. 90 miles/150 km
>
With a full load:
4 persons, cargo area full:
approx. 30 miles/50 km
The initialization is completed during driv-
ing, which can be interrupted at any time.
Drive cautiously and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
When driving resumes, the initialization is con-
When there is a tire pressure loss, the handling
characteristics change, e.g. there will be
reduced directional stability during braking,
braking distances will be longer, and self-steer-
ing response will change.<
