wrench after a distance of approximately 30 miles.
Warning
: Only certain tires meeting the tire size/load/speed
index ratings contained in the Tire Pressure Tables, to be found from the
Index Section of the Sprinter's Operators or Owners Manual, are certi-
fied to conform to FMVSS 120 for the Sprinter Vehicle at this time. Please
check your sidewalls of your originally equipped tires for specific makes/
sizes, and speed load ratings when you need to replace your tires. To
prevent accident, injury or possible death, use only the correct tires for
your tire replacement.
Wheel Bolt Tightening
IMPORTANT! Consult the Sprinter Operators manual
for extensive wheel tightening and wheel torque pro-
cedures, cautions, and warnings.
Tighten all wheel nuts evenly in the crosswise se-
quence indicated.
Warning
: For safety reasons, the wheel tightening torque
must be checked immediately after changing a tire and again after 30
miles to 133 Lbf/ Ft. + or - 14 Lbf. /Ft. The wheels could otherwise come
loose.
TIRE ROTATION
Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently depending
on the types of roads driven, your driving habits, etc. To obtain the longest tire
life you should INSPECT AND ROTATE your tires regularly.
Many automotive dealers and tire dealers will perform a free tire inspection to
look for uneven or abnormal tire wear.
