USA only:
Combination low tire pressure/
TPMS malfunction telltale for
TPMS lights up continuously.
Canada only:
Low tire pressure telltale for
TPMS lights up continuously.
WARNING
G
The TPMS detects a loss of pressure in at
least one tire.
\1Carefully bring the vehicle to a halt,
avoiding abrupt steering and braking
maneuvers. Observe the traffic situa-
tion around you.
\1Read and observe messages in the
multifunction display.
If the tire inflation pressure in the respec-
tive tire(s) has (have) been corrected, the
combination low tire pressure/TPMS
malfunction telltale goes out after a few
minutes of driving.
X
USA only:
Combination low tire pressure/
TPMS malfunction telltale for
TPMS flashes 60 seconds and
then stays illuminated.

There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
\1Read and observe messages in the
multifunction display.
\1Have the TPMS checked at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
After the malfunction has been remedied,
the combination low tire pressure/TPMS
malfunction telltale goes out after a few
minutes of driving.

Warning!
G
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or the tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or the tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly underinflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illu-
minates, you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a significant-
ly underinflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please
note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv-
er’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if underinflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
USA only:
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not
be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of in-
compatible replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue
to function properly.

N
There is insufficient or no oil in the engine.
There is a risk of engine damage.
\1Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so.
\1Switch off the engine.
\1Check the engine oil level using the
dipstick (\2page 189).
\1If the oil level is correct, have the
malfunction rectified immediately at
an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
\1If there is insufficient or no oil in the
engine, have the vehicle towed to an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
NOThe message is displayed for 30 seconds.TPMSThe message is also displayed after
30 seconds.
The TPMS is malfunctioning.
\1Have the TPMS checked at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
The tire pressure monitor is not receiving
signals from one or more wheels because:
\4a wheel was replaced with the spare
wheel, which is not equipped with a
wheel electronics unit
\4the maximum temperature in one of the
wheel electronics units has been ex-
ceeded
\4one of the wheel electronics units is mal-
functioning
\1Have wheels with wheel electronics
units mounted at an authorized
Sprinter Dealer.

— —The message is displayed for 30 seconds.TPMSThe message is also displayed after
30 seconds.
The tire pressure monitor detects a moder-
ate loss of pressure in at least one of the
tires, or the difference in pressure on one
axle is too great.
\1Check the tire pressure at the earli-
est opportunity and correct it if nec-
essary.

Tire pres.
monitor
currently
unavailable
The TPMS or Advanced TPMS* is unable to
monitor the tire pressure due to
\4a nearby radio interference source.
\4excessive wheel sensor temperatures.
\1As soon as the causes of the malfunc-
tion have been removed, the TPMS au-
tomatically becomes active again after a
few minutes of driving.
