Continued driving with a flat tire
The warning lamps come on in yellow
Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
and red. A message appears on the
Control Display. In addition, a signal
sounds.
A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a
change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐
duced lane stability during braking, a longer
braking distance and altered self-steering prop‐
erties.◀
There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation
pressure.
1.
Carefully reduce your speed to a maximum
of 50 mph/80 km/h.
Final tire failure
Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐
vers. Do not increase the speed again.
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can
indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce speed
and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could
come loose and cause an accident. Do not con‐
tinue driving, and contact your service center.◀
Do not continue driving without run-
flat tires
Do not continue driving if the vehicle is not
equipped with run-flat tires; continued driv‐
ing may result in serious accidents.◀
Status display
The current status of the Flat Tire Monitor can
be displayed on the Control Display, e.g.,
whether or not the FTM is active.
2.
Check the air pressure in all four tires at the
next opportunity.
If the tire inflation pressure in all tires is cor‐
rect,theFlatTireMonitormaynothavebeen
initialized. In this case, initialize the system.

Continued driving with a flat tire
Possible driving distance with complete loss of
tire inflation pressure:
▷
With a light load: 1 person without luggage:
approx. 155 miles/250 km.
▷
With a medium load: 1 person, trunk full, or
2
people without luggage: approx. 94 miles/
150
km.
▷
With a full load: 2 people, trunk full: approx.
30 miles/50 km.
The status is displayed.
If there is minor tire damage, especially on the
tire tread, the distance that you can travel with
the damaged tire can be extended.
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM*
After notification, inflate the damaged tire to a
maximum of 43 psi/3.5 bar at the next opportu‐
nity.
The concept
TPM checks the inflation pressures of the four
mounted tires. The system notifies you if there
is a significant loss of pressure in one or more
tires.
Do not reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor. The ex‐
isting flat tire notification will continue to act as
a reminder of the defective tire. The procedure
can be repeated several times.
