CAUTION
Have the interior lamps in the overhead
control panel changed at an authorized
Sprinter Dealer which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that
you use an authorized Sprinter Dealer
for this purpose.
You could damage the overhead con-
trol panel.

\3 Fuel systemOn vehicles with a diesel engine, it is nec-
essary to drain the fuel filter if the/ in-
dicator lamp lights up.
To this end, have the fuel filter with water
separator drained at an authorized Sprint-
er Dealer which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required.The fuel filter with water separator is in the
engine compartment.

\1Apply the handbrake and move the se-
lector lever to positionP.
\1Switch off the engine and open the
hood (\2page 185).
\1Place a suitable container under drain
hose1.
\1Switch on the ignition (\2page 67).\1Unscrew drain plug2 immediately
one turn or until liquid flows out of
drain hose1.
\1Make sure that the liquid flows into the
container under drain hose 1.
\1Close drain plug 2 as soon as approx-
imately 0.2 US qt (0.2 l) of liquid has
been collected.
\1When you have drained the fuel filter
with water separator, turn the key back
to position0 in the ignition lock
(\2page 67).
\1Dispose of the collected liquid in an en-
vironmentally responsible manner.Draining the fuel filter!
CAUTION
Drain the fuel filter with water separa-
tor immediately if the/ indicator
lamp lights up. The engine could be
damaged.
Environmental note
H
When handling, storing and disposing of die-
sel and diesel mixtures, please observe the
relevant regulations.
iThe electric fuel delivery pump stops
the flow of liquid automatically after
30 seconds.

For wheels with wheel nuts:
\1Center the wheel nut cover over the
wheel and push it onto the wheel.
\1Screw on the wheel nuts and tighten
them finger tight.

(\2page 322) and lower the vehicle
slowly.
\1Put the jack to one side.Tightening torque pattern

\1Tighten all the wheel bolts and wheel
nuts evenly in the sequence indicated.
As an extension for the wheel wrench,
use the shaft from the jack’s 3-part
pump lever that has the largest diame-
ter.
iOn vehicles with light-alloy wheels, you
will find short wheel bolts suitable for
the steel spare wheel in the vehicle tool
kit.N40.10-2175-31
iScrew on the three wheel nuts that
hold the wheel nut cover first.

The tightening torque is:
\4for wheel bolts 177 lb-ft (240 Nm)
(steel wheel)/133 lb-ft (180 Nm)
(light-alloy wheel).

\1For wheels with wheel bolts attach the
wheel cover.
Vehicles with wheel caps:
Make sure that the opening in the
wheel cap is positioned over the tire
vent.
Vehicles with center caps:
Make sure that the retaining lugs of the
hub cap are positioned over the bolts.
\1Compress the piston of the hydraulic
jack and close the pressure release
screw.
\1Store the jack and the remaining vehi-
cle tools.
\1Place the defective wheel in the spare
wheel bracket after changing the wheel
(\2page 301).
\1Check the tire pressure (\2page 210).
\1Retighten the wheel bolts and wheel
nuts to the specified tightening torque
once the vehicle has been driven for 30
miles (50 km).
iGive the middle of the center cap a
knock to engage it on the wheel.
Warning
G
For safety reasons, you must observe the
following after changing a wheel:
\4Have the tightening torque checked:
\4for wheel bolts 177 lb-ft (240 Nm)
(steel wheel)/133 lb-ft (180 Nm)
(light-alloy wheel) or
\4for wheel nuts
133 lb-ft (180 Nm).
The wheels could otherwise come loose.
\4Check the tire pressure and correct it if
necessary
\4Have the wheel bolts or wheel nuts re-
tightened after 30 miles (50 km) to a
torque of:
\4177 lb-ft (240 Nm) (steel wheel)/
133 lb-ft (180 Nm) (light-alloy
wheel) for wheel bolts or
\4133 lb-ft (180 Nm) for wheel nuts.
\4Have the direction of tire rotation cor-
rected, if reversed, as soon as possible
at an authorized Sprinter Dealer. The ve-
hicle handling characteristics could oth-
erwise be affected.Warning
G
Loose wheel nuts or bolts could cause the
vehicle to lose a wheel while it is in motion.
This would jeopardize the operating and
road safety of the vehicle. You could lose
control of the vehicle as a result, cause an
accident and injure yourself or others.
If new or repainted wheels are mounted, the
wheel bolts or wheel nuts must be retight-
ened again after approximately 600 to 3000
miles (about 1000 to 5000 km).

\1Start the engine (\2page 111).
\1Press I on electric air pump switch1.
The electric air pump is switched on.
The tire sealant is then pumped into
the tire and the tire pressure is in-
creased. Allow the electric air pump to
run for at least 10 minutes until tire
sealant bottle 8 is completely empty
and a minimum tire pressure of
43.5 psi (3.0 bar) is achieved.
\1Inflate the tire using the electric air
pump until the recommended tire pres-
sure (\2page 210) is achieved.
\1Then press0 on electric air pump

\1Screw valve core extractora clock-
wise all the way onto valve

\1Continue to screw valve core
extractora about half a rotation to
loosen the valve extension.
\1Unscrew and remove the valve exten-

CAUTION
Do not connect the electric air pump
connector to the cigarette lighter sock-
et or another 12 V socket. These are
not designed for operating the electric
air pump.
!
CAUTION
Do not run the electric air pump for
more than 20 minutes without a break,
otherwise it may overheat.
The air pump can be used again once it
has cooled down.
iDo not pull the valve core extractor
from the tire valve while the valve core
is unscrewed from the tire valve. Tire
sealant could otherwise escape onto
your hands.
The tire sealant is water soluble. If tire
sealant escapes, you can wash it away
with water.
