The maximum distance in emergency mode depends on the vehicle's load. It is 50 miles (80 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 in emergency mode begins is when the warning message appears in the multifunction display indicating that there is a loss of tire inflation pressure. X Do not exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). X Practical hints Tighten the five wheel bolts evenly, following the diagonal sequence illustrated (: to A), until all bolts are tight. Observe a tightening torque of 110 lb-ft (150 Nm). G Warning! Have the tightening torque checked after changing a wheel. The wheels could come loose if they are not tightened to a torque of 110 lb-ft (150 Nm). X G Warning! In emergency mode, your vehicle's driving characteristics are diminished in such situations as: Rdriving Rwhile Rwhile around curves Fully collapse the jack to storage position, see (Y page 272). X Store the jack and the other vehicle tools in the designated storage space. For information on storing the spare wheel after it has been replaced by a regular road wheel, see (Y page 272). braking accelerating rapidly i The damaged road wheel cannot be stored in the spare wheel well under the cargo compartment floor. It should be transported in the cargo compartment wrapped in a protective wrap. i USA only: Do not restart the tire inflation pressure monitor until a full size wheel/tire with functioning sensor has been placed back into service on the vehicle. 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. Therefore, your driving style must be adapted accordingly. Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneuvers, as well as driving over obstacles (road curbs, potholes, or off-road areas). This is especially important if the vehicle is heavily loaded. The emergency driving distance that can be achieved greatly depends on the demands placed on the vehicle. Depending on speed, load, driving maneuvers, road conditions, outside temperature, etc., the distance can be significantly shorter or, if the vehicle is driven cautiously, somewhat longer.
