Description
While the vehicle is being driven, the Run Flat Indicator monitors the set tire inflation pressures by evaluating each wheels rotational speed. This allows the system to detect a significant loss of pressure in a tire.
If a wheel's rotational speed changes due to falling tire inflation pressure, you will see a corresponding warning message in the multifunction display.
The Run Flat Indicator may function in a restricted manner or with a delay if: snow chains are mounted to the vehicle; winter road conditions prevail; you are driving on a loose surface (e.g. sand or gr...
