sensor MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2016 MY16 Operator’s Manual

You must observe the correct wheel and
tire dimensions as well as the wheel type.
When using a spare wheel of a different size, do
not exceed the maximum speed of 80 km/h.
General notes
!
Check the spare wheel regularly to see that
it is secure and has the prescribed tire pres-
sure.
The procedure for mounting the spare wheel is
described in "Mounting a wheel" (
Ypage 267).
The following should be checked regularly, par-
ticularly prior to long journeys:
Rthe tire pressure of the spare wheel, which
should then be corrected if necessary
(
Ypage 250).
Rthe fastenings of the spare wheel bracket.
The spare wheel is located in a spare wheel
bracket under the rear of the vehicle.
Replace the tires after 6 years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the spare
wheel.
iIf you have mounted a spare wheel, the tire
pressure monitor (Ypage 253) will not func-
tion for this wheel. The spare wheel is not
equipped with a sensor for monitoring tire
pressure.

Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print. Country-specific variations are possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to systems and functions relevant to
safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (
Ypage 26).
Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
GWARNING
Always have work on the engine electronics
and related components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. Otherwise, the vehi-
cle's operating safety could be affected.
!Only have engine electronics and the corre-
sponding parts, such as control units, sensors or connector leads, serviced in a qualified
specialist workshop. Otherwise, the vehicle
parts may wear more quickly. This can lead to
loss of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Installing electrical or electronic
equipment
GWARNING
If you operate mobile communication equip-
ment while driving, you will be distracted from traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate this equipment when the vehicle
is stationary.
You and others can suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation. By using an exterior antenna, a possible health risk
caused by electromagnetic fields, as discussed
in scientific circles, is taken into account. Only
have the exterior antenna installed by a qualified
specialist workshop. Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effect on both the comfort and the
operating safety of the vehicle. If equipment of
this kind is installed, its electromagnetic com-
patibility must be checked and verified.
If these devices are linked to functions associ-
ated with resistance to interference, they must
have type approval. This applies to the device or
its interfaces to the vehicle electronics, e.g.
charging brackets.
A telephone or two-way radio to be installed in
the vehicle must be approved. Further informa-
tion can be obtained from any Sprinter Dealer.
For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, Mercedes-Benz recommends connec-
tion to an approved exterior antenna. This is the
only way to ensure optimum reception quality
inside the vehicle and to minimize mutual inter-
ference between the vehicle electronics, mobile
phones and two-way radios.
The transmission output of the mobile phone or
two-way radio may not exceed the following
maximum transmission output (PEAK):

mission output
