    You are right in the regard that the screen shouldn’t tell you that they are run flats, if they aren’t. That is a serious safety flaw.

    However as a responsible driver you should always know yourself wether you have run flats or not.

    The car should 100% have a tire repair kit. Are you sure you didn’t miss anything?

    Run flat tires have nothing to do with low pressure.

    The pressure will go down completely. But that doesn’t matter because to car drives on the tires reinforced side wall, not relying on the remaining pressure.

    Now that only works if they actually were run flat tires.



  • A slight movement is absolutely normal for both park and the parking brake. But by slight movement I am talking like a couple of inches, not half a tire.

    Either way to make sure your parking brake works as expected don’t go to P, go to N and pull the parking brake. Usually 2 clicks are not enough to keep the car stationary.
