178 STARTING AND OPERATING
Use only wheels and tires which have been tested and
approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING!
Replace rims or tires with the same designation, man-
ufacturer and type as shown on the original part. See
an authorized Sprinter Dealer for further informa-
tion. If incorrectly sized rims and tires are mounted:
• The wheel brakes or suspension components
can be damaged.
• The operating clearance of the wheels and the
tires may no longer be correct.
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.
WARNING!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different
size may result in false speedometer and odome-
ter readings.
WARNING!
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the tire tread is
badly
worn, or if the tires have sustained damage,
replace them.
When replacing rims, only use genuine wheel
bolts approved from the vehicle manufacturer and
specified for the particular rim type. Failure to do
so can result in the bolts loosening and possibly
an accident.
Do not use retreaded/remolded tires. This process
does not always permit previous damage to be
detected. Therefore vehicle safety cannot be
guaranteed if retreaded/remolded tires are fitted.
