CAUTION
Do not connect the electric air pump
connector to the cigarette lighter sock-
et or another 12 V socket. These are
not designed for operating the electric
air pump.
!
CAUTION
Do not run the electric air pump for
more than 20 minutes without a break,
otherwise it may overheat.
The air pump can be used again once it
has cooled down.
iDo not pull the valve core extractor
from the tire valve while the valve core
is unscrewed from the tire valve. Tire
sealant could otherwise escape onto
your hands.
The tire sealant is water soluble. If tire
sealant escapes, you can wash it away
with water.

The tire valve is on the inside of the outer
wheel and should be horizontal on the left-
hand side of the vehicle for the repair pro-
cedure.

\1Guide valve tool through the opening in
the wheel and press it onto tire
valveb.
\1Use one hand to hold handle9 on
valve tool firmly and use the other hand
to unscrew and remove the valve core
from the valve tool using turning work-
piece a.
\1Remove the valve tool carefully
through the opening in such a way that
the valve core remains engaged in the
valve tool.
iDo not unscrew the valve core extrac-
tor from the tire valve while the valve
core is unscrewed from the tire valve.

After filling with tire sealant
\1Turn the pressure release screw on
pressure gauge5 counterclockwise
and bleed the system.
\1Turn the key to position0 in the igni-
tion lock (\2page 67).
\1Pull the electric air pump connector out
of the 12 V socket.
\1Store the electric air pump, tire sealant
bottle 8 with valve core extractorc
and, if used, the warning triangle and
hazard warning lamps inside the vehi-
cle.\1Unscrew and remove angle bracket 2
from valve7 on tire sealant bottle 8
and screw the valve cap onto the valve.
\1Pull away immediately.
This enables the tire sealant to distrib-
ute inside the tire and create a more ef-
fective seal.
\1Stop after about 3 minutes and check
the tire pressure using the electric air
pump, for example.\1Correct the tire pressure accordingly if
it does not correspond to the recom-
mended tire pressure (\2page 210).
Increasing the tire pressure
\1Switch on the electric air pump.
Reducing the tire pressure
\1Open the pressure release screw
on pressure gauge 5.
\1Drive to the nearest workshop and
have the tire repaired or replaced.
\1Clean the valve core extractor using
clean water.
\1Have tire sealant bottle8 replaced as
soon as possible at an authorized
Sprinter Dealer.
iThe tire sealant is water soluble. If tire
sealant escapes, you can wash it away
with water.
Warning
G
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
The "max. 50 mph (80 km/h)" sticker must
be affixed within the driver's field of vision.
The vehicle’s handling characteristics may
be affected.iYou must connect the angle bracket on
hose 3 of the electric air pump direct-
ly to the tire valve on the tire.

\1Using red positive terminal clamp1 of
the jumper cable, slide the red protec-
tive cap of the jump-starting connec-
tion point back with a clockwise turn
and connect the positive terminal
clamp of the jumper cable to the posi-
tive terminal of the jump-starting con-
nection point.

nection point (under cover)
2Positive terminal of donor battery
3Negative terminal of donor battery
4Ground contact of own vehicle
(negative terminal of your own battery)\1Run the other vehicle’s engine at idling
speed.
\1Connect negative terminal3 of the
donor battery to ground contact4 of
your own vehicle.
Start with the donor battery.
\1Start the engine.
\1Disconnect the jumper cable from neg-
ative terminal3 of the battery and
ground contact 4 first, then from pos-
itive terminal 2 of the battery and
jump-starting connection point 1.
The red protective cap springs back to
its initial position when the terminal
clamp is removed from the jump-start-
ing connection point.
\1Have the battery checked at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.Use a rigid towing bar and secure this only
to the front towing eye (\2page 342).
iDo not connect the jumper cable to the
auxiliary battery* in the engine com-
partment. This is not suitable for jump-
starting operations.
Tow-starting!
CAUTION
Your vehicle is equipped with an auto-
matic transmission. Do not tow-start
your vehicle.
Warning
G
When tow-starting another vehicle, its
weight should not be greater than the per-
missible gross weight of your vehicle.

342 Practical hintsTowing
5
\3 TowingComply with legal regulations when tow-
ing.
Having the vehicle carried away on a trans-
porter or trailer is preferable to towing it
away. We recommend the use of a rigid
towing bar if towing is necessary.The fixture for the front towing eye is locat-
ed behind the cover in the bumper on the
right-hand side when viewed in the direc-
tion of travel.
1CoverInstalling the towing eye
\1Press bottom of cover1 in the direc-
tion of the arrow and remove it.
You will see the fixture for the towing
eye.
\1Take the towing eye and the wheel
wrench from the vehicle tool kit
(\2page 300).
\1Screw in the towing eye clockwise to
the stop.
\1Insert the wheel wrench handle into the
towing eye and tighten.
Removing the towing eye
\1Remove the wheel wrench from the ve-
hicle tool kit.
\1Insert the wheel wrench handle into the
towing eye and turn the wrench coun-
terclockwise.
\1Unscrew the towing eye.
\1Insert bottom of cover 1 using the lug
and press it in at the top until it engag-
es.Warning
G
Tow the vehicle using a rigid towing bar if:
\4the engine is not running,
\4there is a malfunction in the power sup-
ply or the vehicle’s electrical system.
There is no power assistance for the steer-
ing and braking when the engine is not run-
ning. You must then use significantly greater
force to steer the vehicle and brake.
Do not tow the vehicle if the key cannot
be turned in the ignition lock. The steering
is then locked and it will not be possible to
steer the vehicle.
When towing another vehicle, its weight
should not be greater than the permissible
gross weight of your vehicle.
