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.

The coolant temperature is too high.
\1Do not drive any further.
\1Consult an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
If the vehicle is switched off after being
subjected to extreme loads (for example
driving in mountainous terrain, trailer tow-
ing, etc.), this message may be displayed
when the ignition is switched on or the en-
gine is restarted. Run the engine for approx-
imately 1 minute at idling speed.
Consult an authorized Sprinter Dealer if the
message remains displayed.

The coolant level is too low.
Never run the engine if the coolant level
is too low. The engine could overheat and
be damaged.
\1Add coolant (\2page 191).
\1If you are having to add coolant frequent-
ly, have the cooling system checked at
an authorized Sprinter Dealer.

\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
switch1.
The electric air pump is switched off.
\1Slide knoba quickly to the stop in
valve core extractorc.
\1Turn knob a clockwise until the valve
core is firmly screwed into tire
valved.
\1Press leverb and remove valve core
extractorc from tire valved.
\1Screw the valve cap onto tire valved.

\1Screw valve core extractora clock-
wise all the way onto valve
extension9.
\1Continue to screw valve core
extractora about half a rotation to
loosen the valve extension.
\1Unscrew and remove the valve exten-
sion and valve core extractor counter-
clockwise from tire valve.
\1Unscrew and remove the valve exten-
sion from the valve core extractor.

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.
