Warning
The operating safety of the vehicle can be compromised if maintenance work is carried out
incorrectly. In particular, work that is carried out incorrectly on the heater jeopardizes its
operating safety. This

could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident. The
safety systems may also not be able to protect you or others as they are designed to do.
Always have maintenance work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. The qualified
specialist workshop must have 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.

individual tires is displayed. If the vehicle has been parked for more than
20 minutes
or

you have not then driven faster

following message:
tire press. displayed after driving
for several minutes
i The tire pressure values indicated by the
on-board computer may differ from those
measured at a gas station using a pressure
gauge. The on-board computer will
generally give you a more exact value.

USA only:
If the 0077 tire pressure warning lamp
flashes for just 60 seconds and then is lit
permanently, the tire pressure monitor is
malfunctioning (Y page 196). If a malfunction of the tire pressure monitor
is recognized, the 0077 tire pressure
warning lamp
shows

this at the latest after
ten minutes.
Vehicles with steering wheel buttons
A message is displayed and the 0077 tire
pressure warning lamp in the instrument
cluster comes on if the pressure of one or
more tires drops significantly.
The tire pressure is shown in two red
rectangles. The pressure of the tire
concerned is shown in one of the rectangles
(Y page 199). A warning tone also sounds.
i USA only:
If the 0077 tire pressure warning lamp
flashes for just 60 seconds and then is lit
permanently, the tire pressure monitor is
malfunctioning (Y page 196).
If a malfunction of the tire pressure monitor
is recognized, the 0077 tire pressure
warning lamp shows this at the latest after
ten minutes.
Reactivating the tire pressure monitor In most cases, the tire pressure monitor
detects the new reference values
automatically, e.g. after you have:
R
changed the tire pressure
R changed wheels or tires
R installed new wheels or tires
If you wish to define new reference values
manually:
X Refer to the table on the tire data labels
(Y page 256) to make sure that the
pressure of all four tires is set correctly.
Observe the notes on tire pressures in the
"Tires and wheels" section ( Y page 280).260
