Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure. The outer appearance of a tire does not
permit any reliable conclusion about the tire pres-

damage due to insu cient or excessive
tire pressure
Insu cient or excessive tire pressure shortens
the service life of the tires.

Check the tire pressure regularly, but at
least every 14 days.

or: you can also
check the tire pressure using the on-board com-
puter.
Only check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
Conditions for cold tires:
R
The vehicle has been parked with the tires out
of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
R
The vehicle has traveled less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
A rise in the tire temperature of 18 °F (10 °C)
increases the tire pressure by approx. 10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi). Take this into account when
checking the tire pressure of warm tires.
The tire pressures recommended for increased
load/speed in the tire pressure table may a ect
the ride comfort.

WARNING
ARNING Risk of accident due to unsuita-
ble accessories on tire valves
If you mount unsuitable accessories onto tire
valves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause a loss of tire
pressure. A ermarket tire pressure monitoring
systems will cause the tire valves to remain
open, depending on the design. This can also
result in a loss of tire pressure.
#
Only screw standard valve caps or valve
caps speci cally approved by Freightliner
Sprinter for your vehicle onto the tire
valves.

The data shown in the images is example data.
The tire pressure table shows the recommended
tire pressure for the tires installed at the factory on
this vehicle. The recommended tire pressures are
valid for cold tires and di erent vehicle load condi-
tions.
If one or more tire sizes precede a tire pressure,
the tire pressure information following is only valid
for those tire sizes.
If the preceding tire sizes are supplemented by the
+
symbol, the tire pressure information follow-
ing shows alternative tire pressures.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are de ned in the table for varying weights.
Some tire pressure tables only show the rim diam-
eter instead of the complete tire size, e.g. R16
R16. The
rim diameter is part of the tire size and can be
found on the side wall of the tire (
