Renewing tyres/conditions for use of run-flat tyres
Since a loss of pressure on run-flat tyres cannot always be detected by the naked eye, these tyres must only be used on vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system. The system warns the driver if the tyre pressure drops below a specified level.
Permissible:
t  Direct measuring systems
t  Indirect measuring systems
Run-flat tyres must only be fitted on wheels with extended hump (EH2).
Note the special installation instructions.
It is not permitted to fit both run-flat tyres and standard tyres on the same vehicle, even on separate axles.
A standard tyre can be fitted only in exceptional circumstances for a brief period and limited distance. The driver must be expressly informed that the run-flat characteristics do not apply in this case.
