Travel Warning Light
The travel warning light on the dash indicates that
there is a component which will make driving unsafe�
Warnings include open awning or extended stabilizer
jacks, if installed� Stow the items as for travel or press
the warning silence button to silence the alarm�
Tires
Under inflation or over inflation of tires is dangerous.
Under inflation can result in tire flexing, heat build-up,
tire overloading, bad handling, bad fuel economy, and
uneven wear. Over inflation can result in abnormal
wear, bad handling, and a harsh ride�
Tire inflation pressures should be checked as per
the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter’s Owner’s manual and
when significantly changing the load you plan to carry
in your touring coach� Set the correct tire pressure
before loading the vehicle. Always check tire inflation
pressures when the tires are “cold�” Front and rear
pressures are shown for each model and GVWR,
and are based on the GVWR and front and rear axle
ratings (GAWRs) printed on your vehicle VIN plate
and certification label. Tires must be inflated to these
pressures when the vehicle is fully loaded or an axle
GAWR is reached�
For tire size and inflation pressures, see Specifications
on page 4-3�
Proper front end alignment improves tire tread mileage�
Your front-end suspension parts should be inspected
periodically and aligned when needed� Improper
alignment may or may not cause the vehicle to vibrate�
However, improper toe alignment will cause front tires
to roll at an angle, which will result in faster tire wear�
Incorrect caster or camber alignment will cause your
front tires to wear unevenly and can cause the vehicle
to “pull” to the left or right
Vehicle Placard and Tire Inflation Pressure
Label
The TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION placard
supplies information on the size and the cold tire
inflation pressure for the original equipment tires
supplied with your vehicle� Check the Sprinter manual
for all weights and tire information placard location�
A MOTORHOME TIRE SAFETY ADDENDUM is
included with your Airstream owner’s packet� Please
take the time to read, understand, and follow the
information contained in the booklet�
Proper Tire Inflation
The level of air in your tires affects your vehicle’s
overall performance� Not even the highest quality tire
will perform well if it’s not inflated properly. The correct
pressure varies from vehicle to vehicle and depends
in part upon driver preference� Each vehicle has a
recommended inflation pressure, usually found on a
placard� Check the Sprinter manual for all weights and
tire information and the placard location�
Correct tire inflation is a key component in tire care.
The recommended inflation pressures for your tires are
indicated on the certification label or in your owner’s
manual� Since touring coach’s can be loaded with
many different configurations, the load on each tire will
vary� For this reason, air pressure should be checked
based on the load on each individual tire. Cold Inflation
Pressure should be adjusted to handle the maximum
