WARNING!
In order to avoid losing a wheel and in order to re-
duce the risk of fatal or serious injuries or vehicle
damage, please follow these safety instructions:
• Always replace wheel bolts that are damaged or
rusted.
• Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts.
If a wheel hub thread is damaged, you must not
drive the vehicle. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop.
• Be sure to use correct mounting bolts. Check
tightness of wheel bolts or nuts regularly and
retighten with a torque wrench, if necessary.
Tighten wheel bolts or nuts in a cross-pattern
sequence.
• After changing a wheel, the wheel bolts or nuts
must be tightened once the vehicle has been
driven for about 30 miles (50 km).
If new or repainted wheels are fitted, the wheel
bolts or nuts must be retightened again after about
600 to 3,000 miles (about 1,000 to 5,000 km).
WARNING!
Sprinter tire valves are tested and approved under
rough operating conditions. The installation of
additional hub caps or other wheel simulators
could cause damage to the tire valve and lead to a
loss of tire pressure at the valve stem.
Do not install any of these parts on your Sprinter
vehicle. To help ensure safe and reliable
operation of your Sprinter vehicle, only use parts
and accessories tested and approved by the
vehicle manufacturer for your Sprinter vehicle.
