Insufficient tirepressurecan cause thetires
to burst.

Inspect thetirefor signs of foreign
objects.

Checkwhether thewheel or valvehas a
leak.

Youcan find information on recommended tire
pressurefor thevehicle's factory-installed tires
on thefollowing labels:

B‑pillar of your vehicle (/ page221).
R
Tire pressuretable on theinside of thefuel
filler flap .
Observethe maximum tirepressure

Checkthe tirepressureregularly,but at
leastevery 14 days.
Vehicles with atirepressuremonitor: youcan
also checkthe tirepressureusing theon-board
computer.
Onlychecktirepressurewhen thetires arecold.
Conditionsfor cold tires:
R
The vehicle has been parkedwiththe tires out
of direct sunlight foratleast threehours.
R
The vehicle has traveled less than 1mile
(1.6 km).
Arise in thetiretemperatureof18°F (10°C)
increases thetirepressurebyapprox.10kPa
(0.1bar/1.5 psi). Take this intoaccount when
checking thetirepressureofwarmtires.

WARNING Risk of accident dueto
unsuitable accessories on tirevalves
If youmountunsuitable accessories ontotire
valves,the tirevalves maybeoverloaded and
malfunction,whichcan cause aloss of tire
pressure. Aftermarkettirepressuremonitor‐
ing systems will cause thetirevalves to
remain open, depending on thedesign. This
can also result in aloss of tirepressure.

Only screw standardvalvecaps or valve
capsspecifically approvedbyFreight‐
liner Sprinter foryour vehicle ontothe
