226 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

If the engine is already at its regular operating
temperature:

Add coolant until the coolant level is about 0.6 inch

(1.5 cm) above the base area which is visible
through the filler opening.

• Replace and tighten the radiator cap.

If a large quantity of coolant has been lost, or if smaller
amounts are lost at regular intervals, have the engine
cooling system examined by an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.

For coolant composition and water quality, contact
your Sprinter Dealer.

WINTER OPERATION
Have your vehicle winterized by an authorized
Sprinter Dealer before the onset of winter.

• Have the engine oil changed, if the engine oil filled

is not approved for winter use.

• Coolant: antifreeze/anti-corrosion concentration in

the coolant checked.

• Windshield washer system: add winter concentrate

to the washer fluid.

• Battery: the battery will lose capacity as

temperatures drop. Only a well-charged battery will
ensure reliable engine starting even at low outside
temperatures.

• Tires: fit M+S radial tires, taking note of the

maximum permissible speed of the tires fitted.
