However, they are not always shown on the

On Sound 5/Audio 20, the on-board

characteristics could otherwise be
affected.
Otherwise, the operating reliability and road
safety of the vehicle could be jeopardized.
This could cause you to lose control of your
vehicle, resulting in an accident and injuring
yourself or others.
The vehicle tires
are an essential component
in the overall performance and stability of the
vehicle. The service life of tires is dependent
upon and proportional to tire type, speed
rating, environmental conditions, tire load,
tire pressure, road quality and individual
driving style.
For this reason, we recommend regularly
checking wear and correct tire pressure as
well as – according to the appropriate tire
configuration of the vehicle – regularly
rotating the tires.
The wear patterns on the front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Rotate the wheels before a clear wear pattern
has formed on the tires. Front tires typically
wear more on the shoulders and the rear tires
in the center.
If your vehicle's tire configuration allows, you
can rotate the wheels according to the
intervals in the tire manufacturer's warranty
book in your vehicle documents. If no
warranty book is available, the tires should be
rotated every 3000 to 6000 miles
(5000 to 10000 km), or earlier if tire wear
requires. Do not change the direction of
rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel
is rotated. Check the tire pressures.
! If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitor, each wheel has an
electronic component.
Tire-mounting tools should not be applied
in the area of the valve. Otherwise, the
electronic components could be damaged. Only have the tires changed at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Sprinter Dealer.
Diagram for rotating single tires and twin tires
Single tires
If the tires have identical dimensions, you
may rotate
the
tires at the front and rear axles
in pairs so that the tires' original direction of
rotation remains the same. On unidirectional
tires, an arrow on the sidewall shows the
prescribed direction of rotation of the tire.
Twin rear tires If the tires have identical dimensions, you
may rotate the tires at the front axle and the
inner wheels at the rear axle in pairs so that
the tires' original direction of rotation
remains the same. With nondirectional tires,
you may
rotate
the outside wheels at the rear
axle sideways.
Information on changing wheels
(Y page 229). Direction of rotation
Tires with a specified direction of rotation
have
additional benefits,
e.g. if there is a risk
of hydroplaning. You will only gain these
benefits if the correct direction of rotation is
observed.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates
its correct direction of rotation. 272
