Preparing the vehicle
Prepare the vehicle as described
(\2page 320).
\1Prevent the vehicle from rolling away
using chocks or similar.
On a level road:
\1Place the chocks in front of and behind
the wheel diagonally opposite to the
wheel that is to be changed.
\1Take the vehicle tool kit and the jack
from the footwell on the co-driver’s
side (\2page 300).
\1Remove the spare wheel from the
spare wheel bracket (\2page 301).
\1For wheels with wheel bolts remove the
wheel cover.
Wheel with wheel bolts\1Loosen the wheel bolts and nuts on the
wheel you wish to change about one
turn. Do not remove them.
As an extension for the wheel wrench,
use the shaft from the jack’s 3-part
pump lever that has the largest diame-
ter.
\4Before raising the vehicle, also secure it
against rolling away, for example using
chocks or similar. Never release the
handbrake while the vehicle is raised.
Make sure that the distance between
the underside of the tires and the
ground does not exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
The vehicle could slip or topple off the
jack.
\4Do not reach under the raised vehicle
with your hands or feet.
\4Do not start the engine and avoid creat-
ing other vibrations while the vehicle is
jacked up. The vehicle could slip off the
jack.
Warning
G
The vehicle could slip off the jack on uphill
and downhill gradients.
To avoid the risk of causing serious or fatal
injury, or damage to the vehicle, do not
change wheels on uphill and downhill gradi-
ents.

Removing a wheel
\1Unscrew the wheel bolts or wheel nuts. \1For wheels with wheel nuts remove the
wheel nut cover.
\1Remove the wheel.Mounting the new wheel\1Clean the wheel and wheel hub contact
surfaces.
\1Push the wheel onto the wheel hub and
press it on.
!
CAUTION
Do not apply the jack to the leaf spring
or the differential housing.
!
CAUTION
Do not place the wheel bolts or the
wheel nuts in sand or dirt. The bolt and
wheel hub threads could otherwise be
damaged.
Warning
G
Replace the wheel bolts and wheel nuts if
they are damaged or have become rusty.
Never oil or grease wheel bolts or wheel
nuts.
If a wheel hub thread is damaged, you must
not drive the vehicle.
Consult an authorized Sprinter Dealer which
has the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you use
an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
For safety reasons, the manufacturer rec-
ommends that you only use wheel bolts and
wheel nuts which have been approved for
Sprinter vehicles. Other wheel bolts or
wheel nuts could work loose.
!
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitor, each wheel has an
electronic component.
Tire mounting tools should not be ap-
plied in the area of the valve, as this
could damage the electronic compo-
nents.
Have the tires changed only at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Warning
G
Do not tighten the wheel bolts and wheel
nuts completely while the vehicle is still
jacked up. The vehicle could tip.

You can use the Premium tire sealant to
seal small punctures, particularly those in
the tire tread. Tire sealants can be used at
outside temperatures down to –22 °F
(–30 °C).
Prepare the vehicle as described
(\2page 320).\1Try to park the vehicle in such a way
that the tire puncture is close to the
ground. If the tire puncture cannot be
seen, park the vehicle in such a way
that the tire valve of the flat tire is in
horizontal alignment with the axle.
\1It is beneficial to the sealing process if
you remove the foreign body that has
pierced the tire, for example the screw
or nail.
\1Remove the Premium tire sealant, the
accompanying "max. 50 mph
(80 km/h)" sticker and the electric air
pump from the storage compartment in
the right-hand doorway (\2page 303).
\1Affix the sticker within the driver’s field
of vision.Using Premium tire sealant*Warning
G
Smoking, fire and naked flames are prohibit-
ed when handling Premium tire sealant.
Avoid creating sparks.
Warning
G
Your safety is at particular risk and the tire
sealant is unable to repair a tire in the fol-
lowing situations:
\4if there are cuts or punctures in the tire
greater than 0.23 in (6 mm)
\4if the rim is damaged
\4if you have driven with very low tire pres-
sures or with flat tires
Do not drive any further. Consult an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you use
an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
!
CAUTION
Only connect the electric air pump to
the 12 V socket (\2page 170) on the
center console (12 V, 25 A, 300 watts).
You could otherwise damage the vehi-
cle electrical system.
