When is the run flat mode not used?

The run flat mode is designed to allow a vehicle to continue operating safely even when a tire has lost significant air pressure. This functionality is typically utilized in situations where tire pressure failure could occur, such as during off-road driving or when monitoring tire conditions.

Inflating tires is not a scenario where run flat mode would be applicable. This mode is specifically for maintaining mobility and performance in the event of a tire failure, rather than for the task of inflating tires, which requires an external air source or tire inflation equipment. In contrast, monitoring tire pressure and off-road driving are scenarios where the vehicle may need to rely on run flat technology to maintain functionality despite adverse conditions. Additionally, during maintenance checks, the vehicle is often stationary and would not be utilizing run flat technology since the focus is on proper tire function and air pressure management rather than mobility.
