Driving systems
3
Cruise control leverThe cruise control lever is the upper-
most lever on the left of the steering col-
umn.
Warning
G
The cruise control function cannot take
account of road and traffic conditions.
Always pay attention to road and traffic
conditions, even when cruise control is
activated.Cruise control is only an aid designed to
assist driving. You are responsible for the
vehicle’s speed and for braking in good
time.
If there is a change of drivers, advise the
new driver of the cruising speed that is
stored.
Warning
G
Do not use cruise control:
\4if road and traffic conditions do not
permit a constant driving speed to be
maintained (e.g. heavy traffic or wind-
ing roads). You could otherwise cause
an accident.
\4on slippery roads. The drive wheels
may lose their grip when braking or
accelerating and the vehicle could
skid
\4when visibility is poor, e.g. in fog,
heavy rain or snow
iCruise control may be unable to
maintain the stored speed on uphill
or downhill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed if the gradient
evens out and the vehicle’s speed
has not fallen below 20 mph
(30 km/h).

344 OperationTires and wheels
4
Only use wheels and tires which have
been tested and approved by the vehicle
manufacturer.
Warning
G
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the
tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have
sustained damage, replace them.
When replacing rims, only use genuine
wheel bolts approved by the vehicle man-
ufacturer and specified for the particular
rim type. Failure to do so can result in the
bolts loosening and possibly an accident.
Do not use retreaded/remolded tires.
This process does not always permit pre-
vious damage to be detected. Therefore
vehicle safety cannot be guaranteed if re-
treaded/remolded tires are fitted.
Warning
G
Fitting other wheel sizes to the vehicle will
change the vehicle’s handling characteris-
tics and may lead to an accident resulting
in death, severe personal injuries and
property damage.
Continued
Warning (Continued)
G
Only certain tires meeting the tire size/
load/speed rating specifications are cer-
tified to conform to FMVSS 110 for the
Sprinter vehicle at this time. Please check
your side walls of your originally equipped
tires for specific makes/sizes, and speed
load ratings when you need to replace
your tires.To prevent accidents resulting in possible
death, severe injury or property damage,
use only the tire and wheel sizes with load
ratings approved for your Sprinter vehicle
for your tire replacement. Refer to "Tire and loading information"
(\2page 352).

400 OperationTires and wheels
4
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehi-
cles operate at different loads and per-
form different steering, driving and
braking functions. For these reasons,
they wear at unequal rates, and develop
irregular wear patterns. These effects
can be reduced by timely rotation of
tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially
worthwhile with aggressive tread de-
signs such as those on On/Off Road
type tires. Rotation will increase tread
life, help to maintain mud, snow, and wet
traction levels, and contribute to a
smooth ride. If applicable to your vehicle’s tire config-
uration, tires can be rotated according
to the tire manufacturer’s recommend-
ed intervals in the tire manufacturer’s
warranty pamphlet located in your vehi-
cle literature portfolio. If none is avail-
able, tires should be rotated every
10 000 miles (16 000 km), or sooner if
necessary, according to the degree of
tire wear.
The same rotation (spinning) direction
must be maintained when mounted, see
"Direction of rotation" (
\2
page 351).
Warning (Continued)
G
could result in changes to steering, han-
dling, and braking of your Sprinter vehicle.
This can cause unpredictable handling
and stress to steering and suspension
components. You could lose control and
have an accident resulting in serious inju-
ry or death.could result in tire overloading and failure,
if the tires' load index are not identical.
You could lose control and have an acci-
dent.

Jack and vehicle tool kit
Warning
G
To avoid the risk of causing serious or fa-
tal injury, or damage to the vehicle, please
bear the following points in mind:The jack is designed only to raise the ve-
hicle for a short time, for example while a
wheel is being changed.It is not designed to enable work to be
carried out underneath the vehicle.The jack must be placed on a firm, flat sur-
face only.Do not change wheels on uphill or down-
hill gradients under any circumstances.

\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.\4
Switch off the lights to avoid a short
circuit.
\4
Only touch new bulbs with a clean
lint-free cloth or something similar.
Do not work with wet or greasy fin-
gers.
\4
Only fit 12 V bulbs of the same type
as before and of the correct wattage.
\4
Have the headlamp setting checked
regularly.
\4
If the newly installed bulb does not
light up either, visit an authorized
Sprinter Dealer.
\4
Have the following LEDs and bulbs
changed at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer:\4
The additional turn signals in the
exterior mirrors

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 ex-
plode when changed. You should there-
fore wear eye protection and gloves when
you are changing them.
