Setting the speed
\1Briefly press the cruise control lever
upward1 to increase the speed or
downward3 to reduce the speed.
The last speed stored is increased or
decreased in 1 mph increments
(1 km/h increments).
or
\1Press and hold the cruise control lever
up1 or down3 until the desired
speed has been reached.\1Release the cruise control lever.
The current speed is stored.
Deactivating cruise control
There are various ways of deactivating
cruise control:
\1Briefly press cruise control lever
forward4.
or
\1Apply the brakes.
The last speed set remains stored.Warning
G
The rate at which you increase the speed in
1 mph increments (1 km/h increments) may
be faster than your vehicle is able to accel-
erate. Your vehicle may then continue to ac-
celerate up to the newly set speed even
after you have released the cruise control le-
ver.
Only increase the speed if the current situa-
tion is appropriate to do so. Sudden acceler-
ation could otherwise endanger you and
others.
iCruise control is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. If you ac-
celerate briefly to overtake, for exam-
ple, cruise control adjusts the vehicle’s
speed to the last speed stored after you
have finished overtaking.iThe last speed stored is cleared when
you switch off the engine.
iCruise control is automatically deacti-
vated if:
\4you are braking
\4you apply the handbrake and
the7 indicator lamp in the in-
strument cluster is lit
\4you are driving under 20 mph
(30 km/h)
\4ESP
® or ASR is intervening and the
yellow ASR/ESP

Checking the engine oil level in the dis-
play
In vehicles with diesel engines, you can
view the engine oil level in the display.
When the oil is being checked, the vehicle
must
\4be standing level
\4be at normal operating temperature
\4have been standing with the engine
switched off for at least five minutes\1Switch on the ignition (\2page 67).
The display is activated.
Vehicles without steering wheel buttons
\1Press the menu button on the in-
strument cluster repeatedly until you
see the P symbol in the display.
The
--:--
display flashes during the
measurement process.The following messages may be displayed:
\1Check the engine oil level again after a
few minutes.
Vehicles with steering wheel buttons*
\1Press the button on the instrument
cluster (\2page 84).
iIf no oil level reading is shown again,
check the engine oil level with the dip-
stick.
Have the engine oil level display
checked at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.!
CAUTION
Have any excess oil drained or si-
phoned off at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer. Otherwise, the engine or cata-
lytic converter could be damaged.
iIf at extremely low temperatures no en-
gine oil level is displayed after 5 min-
utes, wait a further 5 minutes before
repeating the engine oil level check.

\1Repeat this procedure for each tire.
Checking tire pressure electronically
with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)* (vehicles without steering
wheel buttons)
Vehicles without steering wheel buttons
are equipped with the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System.The TPMS only functions on wheels that
are equipped with the proper electronic
sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pres-
sure, as selected by the driver, in all four
tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a
decrease in pressure in one or more of the
tires.
!
CAUTION
After inspecting or adjusting the tire in-
flation pressure, always reattach the
valve cap if equipped.
This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could
damage the valve stem.
iUSA only:
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is equipped with a combination
low tire pressure/TPMS malfunction
telltale in the instrument cluster
(\2page 14). Depending on how the
telltale illuminates, it indicates a low
tire pressure condition or a malfunction
in the TPMS system itself:
\4If the telltale illuminates continu-
ously, one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. There is
no malfunction in the TPMS.
\4If the telltale flashes for 60 seconds
and then stays illuminated, the
TPMS system itself is not operating
properly.
iCanada only:
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is equipped with a low tire pres-
sure telltale in the instrument cluster
(\2page 14). If the telltale illuminates,
one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated.Warning
G
The TPMS does not warn you against incor-
rectly selected tire inflation pressure and
does not warn you when the tire pressure is
not properly selected for the respective ve-
hicle load. It warns you only when the pres-
sure of one or more tires decreases
significantly below the reference inflation

\1Press the ,menu button on the instru-
ment cluster.
The following message is displayed:
OK TPMSThe tire pressure monitor activation
process has begun.
The tire pressures of the individual
wheels are stored as the new reference
values if they are determined to be
plausible for the tire pressure monitor.
If you wish to cancel the activation pro-
cess:
\1Press the .button or the 5menu button
on the instrument cluster.
The activation process is canceled au-
tomatically if 30 seconds elapse with
no input.Checking tire pressure electronically
with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)* (vehicles with steering
wheel buttons)
Vehicles with steering wheel buttons are
equipped with the Advanced Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
The TPMS only functions on wheels that
are equipped with the proper electronic
sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pres-
sure, as selected by the driver, in all four
tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a
decrease in pressure in one or more of the
tires.
Tire pressure inquiries are made using the
multifunction display. The present inflation
pressures are displayed only after a few
minutes’ travel time.

Potential problems associated with un-
derinflated and overinflated tires
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to
the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle. Three primary areas are affected
by improper tire inflation pressure:
1. Safety
2. Economy
Improper inflation pressures can cause un-
even wear patterns to develop across the
tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns
will reduce tread life resulting in a need for
earlier tire replacement. Underinflation
also increases tire rolling resistance and
results in higher fuel consumption.
Warning
G
Follow recommended tire inflation pres-
sures.
Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires
wear excessively and/or unevenly, adverse-
ly 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 com-
fort, wear unevenly, increase stopping dis-
tance, and result in sudden deflation
(blowout) because they are more likely to
become punctured or damaged by road de-
bris, potholes etc.Warning
G
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and
can cause accidents.
Unequal tire inflation pressures can cause
steering problems. You could lose control of
your vehicle.
Unequal tire inflation pressures from one
side of the vehicle to the other can cause
the vehicle to drift to the right or left. Always
drive with each tire inflated to the recom-
mended cold tire inflation pressure.
