MOExtended system*

The MOExtended system allows you to

tires. 

You may only use the MOExtended system 
in conjunction with the Run Flat Indicator*

In emergency mode, your vehicle’s driving 

characteristics are diminished in such situa-

tions as:

앫

driving around curves

앫

while braking

앫

while accelerating rapidly

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.

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.

Do not continue driving in emergency mode 

if

앫

you notice knocking sounds

앫

the vehicle starts to shake

앫

smoke develops and you smell rubber

앫

ESP

®

 is intervening continuously

앫

you notice tears on the tire sidewalls

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.

i

vehicle, make sure only matching tires marked 
with “MOExtended” are mounted in the size 
specified for your vehicle (
