Improper alignment will not cause vehi-
cle vibration. Vibration may be the result
of a tire and wheel imbalance. Proper
balancing will reduce vibration and avoid
tire cupping and spotty wear.

Coolant temperature

During severe operating conditions and
stop-and-go city traffic, the coolant tem-
perature may rise close to approximate-
ly 250 °F (120 °C).

The engine should not be operated with
the coolant temperature over 250 °F
(120 °C). Doing so may cause serious
engine damage which is not covered by
the Sprinter warranty.

Warning

G

ț Driving when your engine is overheat-

ed can cause some fluids, which may
have leaked into the engine compart-
ment, to catch fire. You could be seri-
ously burned.

ț Steam from an overheated engine can

cause serious burns which can occur
just by opening the hood. Stay away
from the engine if you see or hear
steam coming from it.

Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle
and do not stand near the vehicle until the
engine has cooled down.
