Wheels with centering by wheel bolts:
0046
Wheel bolt for alloy wheel
0047 Wheel bolt for steel wheel
! For a
steel
wheel, only use the short wheel
bolts to install the steel spare wheel. Using
other wheel bolts to install the steel spare
wheel could damage the brake system.
X Screw in the wheel bolts and tighten them
lightly.
i On vehicles with
alloy wheels, you will find
short wheel bolts suitable for the steel
spare wheel in the vehicle tool kit.
For wheels with wheel nuts:
X On the front wheels, push the wheel nut
cover onto the wheel bolts.
X Screw in three wheel nuts over the fixing
discs of the wheel nut cover.
X Turn the wheel so that the wheel bolts are
in the middle of the holes.
X Screw on the rest of the wheel nuts.
X Slightly tighten all the wheel nuts.
Lowering the vehicle X
Open the pressure release screw on the
jack with pump lever slowly by one turn
(Y page 230).
X Carefully lower the vehicle.
X Put the jack aside. X
Pull the rod with the smallest diameter off
the pump lever.
The shortened pump lever serves as a lug
wrench extension.
X Starting with the middle rod, slide the lug
wrench extension as far as it will go onto
the lug wrench.
! Only use the jack pump lever middle rod
and the rod with the largest diameter as a
lug wrench extension.
Only slide the middle
rod as far as it will go onto the lug wrench.
The rods may otherwise bend and be
distorted to such an extent that they can
no longer be used as a pump lever for the
jack. Tightening torque pattern
0046—0087
Wheel bolts or wheel nuts
X Tighten all the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
evenly in the
sequence indicated using the
extended lug wrench.
! The tightening torque is:
R for wheel bolts:
177 lb-ft (240 Nm) (steel
wheel)/133 lb-ft (180 Nm) (alloy wheel)
R for wheel nuts: 133 lb-ft (180 Nm)
You can now install the hub caps on steel
wheels with wheel bolts. The installing
procedure depends on whether the hub cap
covers the whole wheel or just the center.
! With a hub cap that covers the whole
wheel, make sure the opening for the tire
valve is positioned over the valve. 232

X
Push the edge of the hub cap with both
hands against the wheel until it clicks into
place.
! With a hub
cap for the middle of the wheel,
make sure that the clamping lugs of the
cover are positioned over the wheel bolts.
X Hit the middle of the hub cap to engage it
on the wheel.
X Push the piston on the hydraulic jack in
again and close the pressure release
screw.
X Secure the faulty wheel in the spare wheel
bracket (Y page 185).
X Stow the jack and the vehicle tool kit.
X Check the tire pressure and correct if
necessary ( Y page 280).
X Retighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts to
the specified tightening torque after the
vehicle has been driven for 30 miles
(50 km). Retightening wheel nuts/wheel bolts

Warning
After changing a wheel, for safety reasons you
must:
R have the tightening torque checked. For
wheel bolts, the tightening torque is
177 lb-ft (240 Nm) (steel wheel)/ 133 lb-ft
(180
Nm) (alloy wheel). For wheel nuts, the
tightening torque is 133 lb-ft (180 Nm). The
wheels could otherwise work loose.
R check the tire pressure and correct it if
necessary.
R have the wheel bolts/wheel nuts
retightened after driving a distance of 30
miles (50 km). The tightening torque for
wheel bolts is 177 lb-ft (240 Nm)(steel
wheel)/133 lb-ft (180 Nm) (alloy wheel).
The tightening torque for wheel nuts is
133 lb-ft (180 Nm).
R if using new or painted rims, have the wheel
bolts and wheel nuts retightened at the specified tightening torque after the vehicle
has been driven for approximately 600 to
3000 miles (1000 to
5000 km)
.
R have the direction of rotation corrected, if
reversed, as soon as possible at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Sprinter Dealer. The vehicle handling
characteristics could otherwise be
affected.
Otherwise, the operating reliability and road
safety of the vehicle could be jeopardized.
This could cause you to lose control of your
vehicle, resulting in an accident and injuring
yourself or others. Electrical system
Notes on changing bulbs
The bulbs and lamps are an essential
component of vehicle
safety. Therefore, make
sure that each bulb is always working. G
Warning
Bulbs and lamps can become very hot. For
this reason, allow them to cool down before
changing them. Otherwise, you could burn
yourself when you touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Otherwise, they could, for example, damage
the bulbs and injure themselves.
Never use a bulb which has been dropped.
Such a bulb may explode and injure you.
Halogen bulbs are pressurized and could
explode when you change them, especially if
they are very hot. You should therefore wear
eye protection and gloves when you are
changing them. G
Warning
Xenon bulbs are under high voltage. You could
get an electric
shock and be seriously or even
fatally injured if you touch the electric
contacts on Xenon bulbs. Therefore, do not
remove the cover on Xenon bulbs. Electrical system

TIN (Tire Identification Number)
A unique identification number which can be
used by a tire manufacturer to identify tires,
for example for a product recall, and thus
identify the purchasers.
The TIN is composed
of the manufacturer identification code, tire
size, tire model code and manufacturing date. Load bearing index
The load bearing index (also load index) is a
code that contains
the maximum load bearing
capacity of a tire. Traction
Traction is the result of friction between the
tires and the road surface. Wear indicator
Narrow bars (tread wear bars) that are
distributed over the
tire tread. If the tire tread
is level with the bars, the wear limit of 1
/ 16 in
(1.6 mm) has been reached. Distribution of the vehicle occupants
The distribution of vehicle occupants over
designated seat positions in a vehicle. Maximum permissible payload
weight
Nominal load and cargo/luggage load plus
68 kilograms (150 lb) multiplied by the
number of seats in the vehicle. Changing wheels
Flat tire
The "Flat tire"
section in the "Practical advice"
chapter (Y page 221) contains information
and notes on how to deal with a flat tire. It
also provides instructions on changing a
wheel or mounting the spare wheel. Replacing wheels
G
Warning
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the tires
are of the same dimension.
If your vehicle is equipped with mixed-size
tires (different tire
dimensions front vs. rear),
tire rotation is not possible. G
Warning
After changing a wheel, for safety reasons you
must:
R have the tightening torque checked. For
wheel bolts, the tightening torque is
177 lb-ft (240 Nm) (steel wheel)/ 133 lb-ft
(180
Nm) (alloy wheel). For wheel nuts, the
tightening torque is 133 lb-ft (180 Nm). The
wheels could otherwise work loose.
R check the tire pressure and correct it if
necessary.
R have the wheel bolts/wheel nuts
retightened after driving a distance of 30
miles (50 km). The tightening torque for
wheel bolts is 177 lb-ft (240 Nm)(steel
wheel)/133 lb-ft (180 Nm) (alloy wheel).
The tightening torque for wheel nuts is
133 lb-ft (180 Nm).
R if using new or painted rims, have the wheel
bolts and wheel nuts retightened at the
specified tightening torque after the vehicle
has been driven for approximately 600 to
3000 miles (1000 to 5000 km).
R have the direction of rotation corrected, if
reversed, as soon as possible at a qualified

(Y page 255).
G
Warning
Underinflated tires:
R jeopardize driving safety
R damage or destroy the tires
R lead to overheating of tires, even to the
point of catching fire
You could thereby lose control of the vehicle
and injure yourself and others.
For this reason, check the tire pressure
regularly before starting
a journey and correct
it if necessary.
Correct the tire pressure before loading. If the
vehicle is loaded, check the tire pressure, and
correct it if necessary. While driving, dependent on driving speeds
and
load, the
tire temperature and with it, the
tire pressure rise.
You should thus only correct tire pressures
when the tires are cold. If the tires are warm,
you may only correct tire pressures when:
R taking the respective tire temperatures into
consideration with the vehicle laden, the
values apparent from the tire pressure
table are not exceeded.
R taking the respective tire temperatures into
consideration with the vehicle unladen, the
values apparent from the tire pressure
table are not met.
The tires are considered cold if the vehicle has
been parked for at least 3 hours or been
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) with an
outside temperature of about 68 ‡ (20 †).
i The tire pressure changes by
approximately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/1.5 psi) per
