176 STARTING AND OPERATING
STEERING
When the engine is not running, there is no power
assistance for the steering. Greater force will be
required to steer the vehicle.
WHEELS AND TIRES
The tires on a new vehicle provide a balance of many
characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for
wear and correct cold tire inflation pressure. The
vehicle manufacturer strongly recommends to use tires
equivalent to the originals in size, quality and
performance when replacement is needed. Refer to the
Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver’s
door B-pillar for the size designation of your tire.
The service description and load identification will be
found on the original equipment tire. Failure to use
equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the
safety, handling, and ride of your Sprinter vehicle.
Contact an authorized Sprinter Dealer or an
authorized tire dealer with any questions you may
have on tire specifications or capability.
CAUTION!
Power take off must not exceed 10 kW. Exceeding
the power take off may cause damage to the
auxiliary drive and/or ribbed V-belt.
WARNING!
Only use tires which have been tested and ap-
proved for your Sprinter vehicle by the vehicle
manufacturer. Tires approved by the vehicle man-
ufacturer are developed to provide best possible
performance in conjunction with the driving safe-
ty systems on your Sprinter vehicle such as ABS or
ESP
®
.
Using tires other than those approved by the
vehicle manufacturer may result in damage that is
not covered by Warranty.
