Refer to your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions
before driving your coach in these more challenging conditions.
DANGER
Always store luggage, gear, and equipment securely within
the vehicle and at the lowest practical level. Failure to
maintain a low and secure center of gravity may cause loss
of stability and control while driving, and result in severe
injury or death of persons if not avoided.
WARNING
Never store heavy objects on the roof of the vehicle. This
includes items such as bicycles, kayaks, camping gear, or
luggage, which could significantly raise the vehicle’s center
of gravity. Excessive weight on the roof of the vehicle may
cause loss of stability and control while driving, which could
lead to severe injury or death of persons if not avoided.

WARNING
Do not attach aftermarket racks for bicycles, spare tires or
gear directly to the rear doors of your coach as they are not
designed to carry additional weight. Items secured to the
doors could suddenly detach, resulting in unsafe conditions
and hazards to other drivers.
■ TIRES (INFLATION / ROTATION / TPMS /
FLAT / REPLACEMENT)
Tire care and maintenance is critical to ensuring your safety while
operating your luxury Class B coach� This is especially true for
vehicles used infrequently and / or stored for long periods of time�
Always check the physical condition and air pressure of all tires before
operating your coach�
Refer to the tire pressure placard located on the driver’s side door
jamb of your Sprinter Van, or look up the recommended tire pressure
settings for your particular vehicle in the Tire Pressure section of the
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions that accompanied
your vehicle at the time of purchase� You should also refer to the
Tire Pressure Table(s) found within that section of the Operating
Instructions. Specifications are provided for both single tires and rear
wheel twin tires according to tire size and vehicle load�
Before traveling, always ensure your tires are properly inflated to the
recommended pressure settings� If you add or remove air from the
tires, you should reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TMPS)
in accordance with the directions specified in the Tire Pressure Monitor
section of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions� This
procedure is accomplished through the Sprinter Van’s multi-function
display� If you are unable or not comfortable with completing this
process, any authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership, or your nearest
American Coach dealership, can perform this important task for you�
DANGER
Operating with under inflated or overloaded tire(s) increases
the risk of an accident.
NOTE
In the event of a flat tire, refer to the Flat Tire section of your
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions. Directions
and safety procedures for how to replace a tire/wheel
assembly are provided in the Wheels and Tires section,
along with important technical data and an overview of the
