MOExtended system
The MOExtended system allows you to con-
tinue driving your vehicle even if there is a
total loss of pressure in one or more tires.
You may only use the MOExtended system in
conjunction with the Run Flat Indicator
(Y page 213), the TPMS (Y page 214), or the
Advanced TPMS (Y page 217).
For information on driving in case of pressure
loss in one or more tires (emergency mode),
see the “Practical Hints” section
(Y page 321).
