!Do not clean the ball coupling with a power
washer. Do not use solvents.
!Observe the notes on care in the Operator's
Manual for the trailer tow hitch and the ball
coupling manufacturer.
You can also have the maintenance work on the

cle weight rating (GVWR) specified on the vehi-
cle identification plate at the base of the driver's
seat (
Ypage 276).
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
The GVWR is the maximum permitted gross
weight of the fully laden vehicle (weight of the
vehicle including all accessories, occupants,
fuel, luggage and the drawbar noseweight if
applicable). The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is
specified on the vehicle identification plate on
the driver seat frame (
Ypage 276).
Maximum weight of the laden vehicle
The maximum weight is the sum of:
Rthe curb weight of the vehicle
Rthe weight of the accessories
Rthe load limit
Rthe weight of the factory installed optional
equipment
Kilopascal (kPa)
Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa are the
equivalent of 1 psi. Another tire pressure unit is
bar. 100 kilopascals(kPa) are the equivalent of
1 bar.
Load index
In addition to the load bearing index, a load
index can be stamped onto the sidewall of the
tire. It specifies the load-bearing capacity of the
tire more precisely.
Curb weight
The weight of a vehicle with standard equipment
including the maximum filling capacity of fuel,
oil, and coolant. It also includes the air-condi-
tioning system and optional equipme nt i
f these
are installed on the vehicle, but does not include
passengers or luggage.
Maximum tire load
The maximum tire load in kilograms or pounds is
the maximum weight for which a tire is
approved.
Maximum permissible tire pressure
Maximum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximum load on one tire
Maximum load on one tire. This is calculated by
dividing the maximum axle load of one axle by
two.
PSI (Pounds per square inch)
Standard unit of measurement for tire pressure.
Aspect ratio
Relationship between tire height and width in
percent.
tire pressure
Pressure inside the tire applying an outward
force to every square inch of the tire's surface.
Tire pressure is specified in pounds per square
inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa) or in bar. Tire pres-
sure should only be corrected when the tires are
cold.
Cold tire pressure
The tires are cold:
Rif the vehicle has been parked for at least
three hours without direct sunlight on the
tires, and
Rif the vehicle has not been driven further than
1 mile (1.6 km)
Tire tread
The part of the tire that comes into contact with the road.
Tire bead
The tire bead ensures that the tire sits securely
on the wheel. There are several stee l wires in the
bead to prevent the tire from coming loose from
the wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and the
tire bead.
Weight of optional extras
The combined weight of those optional extras
that weigh more than the replaced standard
parts and more than 2.3 kg (5 lbs). These
optional extras, such as high-performance
brakes, a roof rack or a high-performance bat-
tery, are not included in the curb weight and the
weight of the accessories.
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.
What you should know about wheels and tires265

wide tire at a qualified specialist workshop
immediately.
!Vehicles with Super Single tires:if you
install the spare wheel, do not exceed the
maximum speed of 40 mph (60 km/h) and do
not drive further than 65 miles(100 km).
The transmission could otherwise be dam-
aged by the difference in wheel rotation
speeds.
On vehicles with Super Single tires, you must
attach the narrow spare wheel to the rear axle by
means of an adapter. The adapter is bolted to
the spare wheel using the adapter bolts for
transportation.
The handling characteristics of your vehicle are affected when driving with a spare wheel instal-
led. After changing a wheel, drive to the nearest
specialist workshop and have the spare wheel
replaced with a wheel and tire assembly that hasa Super Single tire.
XClean the wheel and wheel hub contact sur-
faces.
XUnscrew the six adapter bolts on the spare
wheel and remove the adapter.
XTighten the adapter with the six adapter boltsevenly in a crosswise pattern through the
outer holes on the wheel hub.
XTighten the six adapter bolts on the wheel hub
to a tightening torque of 177 lb-ft(240 Nm).
XPush the wheel onto the adapter and attach it.
Mounting a new wheel
GWARNING
Oiled or greased wheel bolts or damaged
wheel bolts/hub threads can cause the wheel bolts to come loose. As a result, you could
lose a wheel while driving. There is a risk of
accident.
Never oil or grease wheel bolts. In the event of
damage to the threads, contact a qualified
specialist workshop immediately. Have the
damaged wheel bolts or hub threads
replaced/renewed. Do not continue driving.
GWARNING
If you tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when the vehicle is raised, the jack could tip
over. There is a risk of injury.
Only tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when the vehicle is on the ground.
Always observe the instructions and safety
notes on "Changing a wheel" (
Ypage 266).
Only use wheel bolts or wheel nuts that have
been designed for the wheel and the vehicle. For safety reasons, we recommend that you only
use wheel bolts or wheel nuts which have been
approved for Sprinter vehicles and the respec-
tive wheel.
!For a steel wheel, only use the short wheel
bolts to mount the steel spare wheel. Using
other wheel bolts to mount the steel spare
wheel could damage the brake system.
!On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure
monitor, electronic components are located
in the wheel.
Tire-mounting tools should not be used near
the valve. This could damage the electronic
components.
Only have tires changed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

;Wheel bolt for steel wheel
XClean the wheel and wheel hub contact sur-
faces.
XVehicles with Super Single tires: first attach
the adapter for the narrow spare wheel to the
wheel hub (
Ypage 269).
Slide the new wheel onto the wheel hub or
onto the adapter for the spare wheel and push
it on.
