Wheels and tires
MOBILITY
▷
▷
Do not leave the tires in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from wheels or tires.
Identification
Runflat tires
Principle
Runflat tires permit continued driving under
limited conditions even in the event of a com-
plete tire pressure loss.
Runflat tires are labeled with a circular icon
containing the letters RSC marked on the tire
sidewall.
General information
The wheels consist of tires that are self-sup-
porting to a limited degree and may also in-
clude special rims.
Repairing a flat tire
The reinforcement of the sidewall allows the
tire to remain drivable to a limited degree in
the event of a tire pressure loss.
Safety precautions
Follow the instructions for continued driving
with a flat tire.
▷
Park the vehicle on solid and non-slip
ground at a safe distance from road traffic.
▷
▷
▷
Turn on the hazard warning system.
Set the parking brake.
Safety information
Turn the steering wheel until the front
wheels are in the straight-ahead position
and engage the steering wheel lock.
Warning
The vehicle handles differently when a runflat
tire has insufficient or no tire pressure; for
instance, reduced directional stability when
braking, braking distances are longer and the
self-steering properties will change. There is
a risk of accident, injury, and property dam-
age. Drive moderately and do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
▷
▷
As soon as permitted by the traffic flow,
have all vehicle occupants get out and
make sure that they remain outside the
hazardous area such as behind a guardrail.
If necessary, set up the hazard triangle or
hazard warning lights at an appropriate
distance.
Warning
Tire repair set
Vibrations or loud noises while driving can
indicate the final failure of a tire. Tire compo-
nents may come loose. There is a risk of ac-
cident, injury, and property damage. Reduce
your speed and stop. Do not continue driving.
Contact an authorized service center or an-
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Principle
The tire repair set is used to temporarily seal
minor tire damage so that it is possible to con-
tinue driving.
