Operation

Tires and wheels

4

Rotate tires before the characteristic
tire wear pattern becomes visible (shoul-
der wear on front tires and tread center
wear on rear tires).

The reasons for any rapid or unusual
wear should be corrected prior to rota-
tion being performed.

Thoroughly clean the mounting face of
wheels and brake disks, i.e. the inner
side of the wheels/tires, during each ro-
tation.

Check for and ensure proper tire infla-
tion pressure, refer to "Recommended
tire inflation pressure" (

୴ page 361).

!

CAUTION

If your vehicle is equipped with the
tire pressure monitor*, each wheel
has an electronic component.

Tire mounting tools should not be ap-
plied in the area of the valve, as this
could damage the electronic compo-
nents.

Have the tires changed only at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
