MOExtended system* The MOExtended system allows you to continue 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* (Canada vehicles) ( page 293) or TPMS (U.S. vehicles) ( page 296). Warning! G Have the tightening torque checked after changing a wheel. The wheels could come loose if they are not tightened to a torque of 96 lb-ft (130 Nm). Warning! G When turning the wheel wrench to tighten the wheel bolts, make sure you position hands on the wrench in such a way that you avoid injury to yourself, such as scraping your hands against the wheel. Make sure turning the wheel wrench will not scratch or damage the wheel rim. ! The maximum distance in emergency mode depends on the vehicle's load. It is 30 miles (50 km) if the vehicle is partially loaded and 18 miles (30 km) if the vehicle is fully loaded. The point at which the maximum driving distance begins in emergency mode is when the warning message appears in the multifunction display indicating that there is a loss of tire inflation pressure. Do not exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Before storing the jack in the trunk, crank back to storage position and fold in the arm. 411
