Notes on flat tires
WARNING
Risk of accident due to a flat tire
A flat tire severely affects the driving characteristics as well as the steering and braking of the vehicle.
Tires without run-flat characteristics:
- Do not drive with a flat tire.
- Change the flat tire immediately with an emergency spare wheel or spare wheel. Alternatively, consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Tires with run-flat characteristics:
- Observe the information and warning notes on MO Extended tires (run-flat tires).
In the event of a flat tire, the following options are available depending on your vehicle’s equipment:
- Vehicles with MO Extended tires: it is possible to continue the journey for a short period of time. Make sure you observe the notes on MO Extended tires (run-flat tires)
page 296). - Vehicles with a TIRE FIT kit: you can seal the tire so that it is possible to continue the journey for a short period of time. To do this, use the TIRE FIT kit (/ page 297).
- Vehicles with Mercedes I connect: you can make a call for breakdown assistance via the overhead control panel in the case of a breakdown (/ page 259).
- All vehicles: change the wheel (/ page 337).% The emergency spare wheel is only available in certain countries.
Notes on MO Extended tires (run-flat tires)
WARNING
Risk of an accident when driving in limp-home mode
When driving in emergency mode the handling characteristics are impaired.
- Do not exceed the specified maximum speed of the MOExtended tires.
- Avoid any abrupt steering and driving maneuvers as well as driving over obstacles (curbs, potholes, off-road). This applies, in particular, to a loaded vehicle.
- Stop driving in emergency mode if you notice:
- Banging noise
- Vehicle vibration
- Smoke that smells like rubber
- Continuous ESP® intervention
- Cracks in the tire side walls
- After driving in emergency mode, have the rims checked by a qualified specialist workshop with regard to their further use..
- The defective tire must be replaced in every case.
With MO Extended tires (run-flat tires), you can continue to drive your vehicle even if there is a total loss of pressure in one or more tires. However, the affected tire must not show signs of clearly visible damage. You can recognize MO Extended tires by the MOExtended marking which appears on the side wall of the tire. Vehicles with a tire pressure loss warning system: MOExtended tires may only be used in conjunction with an activated tire pressure loss warning system. Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring system: MOExtended tires may only be used in conjunction with an activated tire pressure monitoring system.
If a pressure loss warning message appears in the driver’s display, proceed as follows:
- Check the tire for damage.
- Driving distance possible in emergency mode after the pressure loss warning:
- If driving on, observe the following notes.
| Load condition | Driving distance possible in emergency mode |
| Partially laden | 50 miles (80 km) |
| Fully laden | 19 miles (30 km) |
The driving distance possible in emergency mode may vary depending on the driving style. Observe the maximum permissible speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
If a tire has gone flat and cannot be replaced with an extended tire, you can use a standard tire as a temporary measure.
TIRE FIT kit storage location
The TIRE FIT kit is located under the trunk floor.
- Tire sealant bottle
- Tire inflation compressor
Depending on the vehicle version, the TIRE FIT kit may also be located in other places under the boot floor.

The tire is inflated. First, tire sealant is pumped into the tire. The pressure may briefly rise to approximately 500 kPa (5.0 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation compressor during this phase!
- Let the tire inflation compressor run for a maximum of ten minutes.
The tire should then have attained a tire pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If tire sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the affected area as quickly as possible. It is preferable to use clean water.
If you get tire sealant on your clothing, have it cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethylene.
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been attained:
- Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
- Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the defective tire.
Please note that tire sealant may leak out when unscrewing the filling hose. - Drive forward or in reverse very slowly for approximately 33 ft (10 m).
- Pump up the tire again.
After a maximum of ten minutes, the tire pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
WARNING
Risk of accident due to the specified tire pressure not being achieved
If the specified tire pressure is not achieved after the specified time, the tire is too badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the tire in this instance.
The braking characteristics as well as the driving characteristics may be greatly impaired.
- Do not continue driving.
- Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been attained:
- Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
