Carefully bring the vehicle to a halt, avoiding abrupt steering and braking maneuvers. Check and adjust tire pressure as required. If necessary, change the wheel ( page 417). H Check Tires The tire pressure in one or more tires is already below the minimum value. Vehicles with Advanced TPMS*: The respective tire is indicated in the multifunction display. Warning! G Warning! Follow recommended tire inflation pressures. G Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects the ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You may lose control of the vehicle. Continued driving with a flat tire will cause excessive heat build-up and possibly a fire. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can adversely affect handling and ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping distance, and result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes etc. 398
