Index

Wheels with centering by wheel bolts:
X
Vehicles with alloy wheels: take the short
wheel bolts that fit the steel spare wheel
out of the vehicle tool kit.
X Screw in the wheel bolts and tighten them
lightly.
For wheels with wheel nuts:
X Front wheels with wheel nut covers: press
the wheel nut covers onto the wheel nuts.
X Screw in the three wheel nuts over the fix-
ing discs of the wheel nut cover.
X Turn the wheel so that the wheel bolts are
in the middle of the holes.
X Screw on the rest of the wheel nuts.
X Slightly tighten all the wheel nuts.
Lowering the vehicle G
WARNING
The wheels could work loose if the wheel nuts
and bolts are not tightened to the specified
tightening torque. There is a risk of accident.
Have the tightening torque immediately
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
! Only use the jack pump lever middle rod
and the rod with the largest diameter as a
lug wrench extension. Only slide the middle
rod as far as it will go onto the lug wrench.
The rods may otherwise bend and be dis-
torted to such an extent that they can no
longer be used as a pump lever for the jack. Tightening torque pattern
0043—0084
Wheel bolts or wheel nuts
X Using the pump lever, slowly turn the low-
ering screw on the jack through approx-
imately one revolution and carefully lower
the vehicle (Y page 309).
X Put the jack aside.
X Pull the rod with the smallest diameter off
the pump lever.
The shortened pump lever serves as a lug
wrench extension.
X Starting with the middle rod, slide the lug
wrench extension as far as it will go onto
the lug wrench.
X Using the extended lug wrench, tighten the
wheel bolts evenly in a crosswise pattern in
the sequence indicated (0043 to0084).
Tighten the wheel bolts to the following
tightening torques:
R Steel wheel 177 lb-ft(240 Nm)
R Light-alloy wheel 133 lb-ft(180 Nm)
Tighten the wheel nuts to a tightening tor-
que of 133 lb-ft (180 Nm).
X Push the piston on the hydraulic jack in
again and close the pressure release
screw.
X Stow the jack and the rest of the vehicle
tools in the vehicle again.
i You can now install the hub caps on steel
wheels with wheel bolts. The installing pro-
cedure depends on whether the hub cap
acts as a trim that covers the whole wheel,
or just covers the center. 312
Changing wheelsWheels and tires

X
Wheel with hub cap: position the opening
for the tire valve in the hub cap over the tire
valve.
X Push the edge of the hub cap with both
hands against the wheel until it clicks into
place. Make sure the hub cap retaining
catches engage on the steel wheel.
X Wheel with central hub cap: position the
retaining lugs of the central hub cap over
the wheel bolts.
X Hit the middle of the hub cap to engage it
on the wheel.
X Secure the faulty wheel in the spare wheel
bracket (Y page 314).
X Check the tire pressure of the newly
mounted wheel and adjust it if necessary.
Observe the recommended tire pressure
(Y page 290).
X Retighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts to
the specified tightening torque after the
vehicle has been driven for 30 miles
(50 km).
When using a wheel/spare wheel with a new
or newly painted wheel rim, have the wheel
bolts/nuts retightened again after approx-
imately 600 to 3,000 miles (1,000 to
5,000 km). Observe the specified tightening
torque.
i Vehicles with the tire pressure monitor
system: all mounted wheels must be equip-
ped with functioning sensors. Wheel and tire combination
General notes
! Retreaded tires are neither tested nor rec-
ommended for Sprinter vehicles, since pre-
vious damage cannot always be detected
on retreaded tires. We can therefore not
guarantee driving safety. Do not mount
used tires if you have no information about
their previous usage. The recommended tire pressures can be
found:
R
on the Tire and Loading Information plac-
ard 8
on the B-pillar on the driver's side
R on the tire pressure table on the B-pillar on
the driver's side
The recommended tire pressure can also be
found in the "Tire pressure table" section in
these Operating Instructions (Y page 297).
The wheel/tire combination for your vehicle
can be found on the tire pressure table. Fur-
ther information on wheel/tire combination
can be obtained at any qualified specialist
workshop.
Check tire pressures regularly and only when
the tires are cold. Observe the notes on the
recommended tire pressures (Y page 290).
Follow the maintenance recommendations in
the tire manufacturer's warranty book in your
vehicle documents.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always
install the vehicle:
R with tires of the same size across an axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tires on all wheels at
a given time (summer tires, winter tires) Spare wheel
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Wheel and tire dimensions as well as the type
of tire can vary between the spare wheel and
the wheel to be replaced. When the spare
wheel is mounted, driving characteristics may
be severely affected. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
In order to reduce risks:
R you should therefore adapt your driving
style and drive carefully.
R never mount more than one spare wheel
that differs from the wheel to be replaced.
8 Only for vehicles with a gross weight of less than 10,000 lbs(4,536 kg). Spare wheel
