standstill. Do not carry out any sudden steer-
ing maneuvers.
The tire pressure monitor has a yellow 0077
warning lamp in the instrument cluster for
indicating pressure loss/malfunctions (USA)
or pressure loss (Canada). Depending on how
the warning lamp flashes or lights up, an
underinflated tire or a malfunction in the tire
pressure monitor is displayed:
R if the 0077 warning lamp is lit continuously,
the tire pressure on one or more tires is
significantly too low. The tire pressure mon-
itor is not malfunctioning.
R USA only: if the 0077warning lamp flashes
for 60 seconds and then remains lit con-
stantly, the tire pressure monitor is mal-
functioning.
Only vehicles with steering wheel buttons: the on-board computer displays information on
tire pressure. After a few minutes of driving,
the current tire pressure of each tire is shown
in the on-board computer.
USA only: if the tire pressure monitor is mal-
functioning, it may be more than 10 minutes
before the malfunction is shown. The 0077
tire pressure warning lamp flashes for
60 seconds and then remains lit. When the
malfunction has been rectified, the 0077tire
pressure warning lamp goes out after a few
minutes of driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at a gas station with a pressure gage.
The tire pressures shown by the on-board
computer refer to those measured at sea
level. At high altitudes, the tire pressure val-
ues indicated by a pressure gage are higher
than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not reduce the tire pressures.
If radio transmitting equipment (e.g. wireless headphones, two-way radios) is operated
inside the vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, this can interfere with the operation of the tire pressure monitor. Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally (vehicles with steering wheel but-
tons)

X Press the 0063or0064 button repeatedly
until the current pressure of the individual
tires is shown in the display.
If the vehicle is parked for longer than
20 minutes or you then drive at less than
18 mph (30 km/h), the Tire pres. dis‐ Tire pres. dis‐
played after driving for several played after driving for several
minutes minutes message appears.
i The tire pressure value shown in the dis-
play may differ from those measured at a
gas station using a pressure gage. The on-
board computer will generally give you a
more exact value.
Tire pressure loss warning system Vehicles with steering wheel buttons
If the tire pressure monitor detects a signifi-
cant pressure loss on one or more tires, the
on-board computer displays a warning mes-
sage. The 0077tire pressure loss warning
lamp in the instrument cluster (Y page 226)
lights up.
The tire pressure is shown in 2 red rectangles. The pressure of the tire concerned is shown in
one of the two rectangles (Y page 197). Addi-
tionally, a warning tone sounds. 292

WARNING
You and others may damage your health due
to excessive electromagnetic radiation. By
using an external antenna, the possible health risks of electromagnetic fields, which are
under discussion among the scientific com-
munity, should be largely prevented.
Therefore, only have the exterior antenna
installed at a qualified specialist workshop.
Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effect on both the comfort and
the operating safety of the vehicle. If equip-
ment of this kind is installed, its electromag-
netic compatibility must be checked and veri-
fied.
If these devices are linked to functions asso-
ciated with resistance to interference, they
must have type approval. This applies to the
device or its interfaces to the vehicle elec-
tronics, e.g. charging brackets.
A telephone or two-way radio to be installed in
the vehicle must be approved. Further infor-
mation can be obtained from any Sprinter
Dealer. For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, Mercedes Benz recommends connec- tion to an approved exterior antenna. This is
the only way to ensure optimum reception
quality inside the vehicle and to minimize
mutual interference between the vehicle elec-
tronics, mobile phones and two-way radios.
