Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire
tread
life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability. Please note that
the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if underinflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
USA only:
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the tire pressure monitoring system is not
operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is lit, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of
incompatible replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
i USA only:
If the tire pressure monitor is
malfunctioning, it may take more than
10 minutes for the 0077 tire pressure
warning lamp to inform you of the
malfunction by flashing for 60 seconds and
then remaining lit.
When the malfunction has been rectified,
the tire pressure warning lamp goes out
after driving for a few minutes. Information on tire pressures is displayed in
the on-board computer. After a few minutes
of driving, the current tire pressure of each
tire is shown in the on-board computer
i
The tire pressure values indicated by the
on-board computer may differ from those
measured at a gas station with a pressure
gauge. The tire
pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tire pressure
values indicated by a pressure gauge are
higher than those shown by the on-board
computer. In this case, do not reduce the
tire pressures.
i If radio transmitting equipment (e.g.
wireless headphones, two-way radios) is
operated inside the vehicle or in the vicinity
of the vehicle, this can interfere with the
operation of the tire pressure monitor.
i USA only:
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must withstand any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Unauthorized modifications to the device
could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
i Canada only:
This device complies with the RSS-210
Rules from Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Unauthorized modifications to the device

Otherwise, the vehicle parts may wear out
more quickly. This can invalidate the
general operating
permit
and the insurance
cover, and lead to the loss of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. Retrofitting electrical or electronic
equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment can
jeopardize the operational safety of the
vehicle. If equipment

of this kind is retrofitted,
it must be type-approved and bear the e
mark. The e mark may be obtained from the
equipment manufacturer or an authorized
testing center.
! Damage or consequential damage arising
from installing equipment that is not
approved for Sprinters is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
If you wish to install telephones or two-way
radios in the vehicle, you must obtain formal
approval.
For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, We recommend connection to an
approved exterior antenna. This is the only
way to ensure optimum reception quality
inside the vehicle and to minimize mutual
interference between the vehicle electronics,
mobile phones and two-way radios. G
Warning
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
constitute a health hazard to yourself and
others. Use of an exterior antenna gives
consideration to scientific discussion
surrounding the possible

health risk posed by
electromagnetic fields.
The exterior antenna should only be installed
at a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. We
recommend that you use an authorized
Sprinter Dealer for this purpose. In particular,
work relevant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
The transmission output

of the mobile phone
or two-way radio must not exceed the
maximum transmission outputs listed. Frequency range Maximum
