306 Practical hintsChanging bulbs
5
\3 Changing bulbsBulbs and lights are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. For this reason, make sure
that all bulbs are in working order at all
times.
\4Switch off the lights to avoid a short cir-
cuit.
\4Only touch new bulbs with a clean lint-
free cloth or something similar. Do not
work with wet or greasy fingers.
\4Only fit 12 V bulbs of the same type as
before and of the correct wattage.
\4Have the headlamp setting checked
regularly.\4If the newly installed bulb does not light
up either, visit an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.
\4Have the following LEDs and bulbs
changed at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer:
\4The additional turn signals in the
exterior mirrors
\4The third brake lamp (cargo and
passenger vans only)*
\4The bi-xenon headlamps*
\4The foglamps* Before changing bulbs
Warning
G
Bulbs and bulb holders can become very
hot. For this reason, allow the light to cool
down before changing the bulb.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Never use a bulb which has been dropped.
Such a bulb may explode and injure you.
H7 bulbs are pressurized and may explode
when changed. You should therefore wear
eye protection and gloves when you are
changing them.

Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You could
receive a serious or fatal electric shock if
you touch the electrical contacts on the xe-
non bulbs. Do not remove housing cover 2
(\2page 307) if the headlamps are xenon
headlamps.
Bulb
Model
Do not change xenon bulbs yourself.
Instead, always have them changed at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you use
an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.

\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).

Adding engine oil Fuels for gasoline engines
Premium unleaded gasoline
!
CAUTION
Diesel engine:
Never use any amount of engine oil for
the diesel engine that does not con-
form to MB 229.51 or MB 229.31 spec-
ifications. Otherwise the diesel particle
filter (DPF) could be damaged.
If the above specified engine oils are
not available, you may also use engine
oils conforming to MB 228.5, 229.3
and 229.5 specifications. You should
add no more than 1 qt (1 l) of these en-
gine oils, however.
FuelsWarning
G
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous.
It burns violently and can cause serious inju-
ry. Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid
inhaling fumes and skin contact, extinguish
all smoking materials. Never allow sparks,
flame or smoking materials near gasoline!
Direct skin contact with fuels and the inha-
lation of fuel vapors are damaging to health.
Switch off the engine before refueling.!
CAUTION
If you are refueling the vehicle from
drums or canisters, you should filter
the fuel before adding it to the tank.
This will prevent malfunctions in the
fuel system caused by contaminated
fuel.
!
CAUTION
To maintain the engine’s durability and
performance, premium unleaded gaso-
line must be used. If premium unleaded
is not available and low octane fuel is
used, follow these precautions:
\4Have the fuel tank only partially
filled with unleaded regular and fill
up with premium unleaded as soon
as possible.
\4Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt
acceleration.
\4Do not exceed an engine speed
of 3000 rpm if the vehicle is loaded
with a light load, such as two per-
sons and no cargo.
\4Do not exceed
2/3 of maximum ac-
celerator pedal position if the vehi-
cle is fully loaded or operating in
mountainous terrain.
