Protection of the environment
Natural resources form the basis of our exis-
tence on this planet. The objective is to use
the natural resources which form the basis of
our existence on this planet sparingly and in
a manner which takes the requirements of
both nature and humanity into account..
Our declared policy is one of integrated envi-
ronmental protection, starting at the root
causes and encompassing in its management
decisions all the consequences for the envi-
ronment which could arise from production
processes or the products themselves.
You too can help protect the environment by
operating your Sprinter in an environmentally
responsible manner. Fuel consumption and the wear of your
engine, brakes and tires largely depend on
the operating conditions and your individual
driving style. To reduce fuel consumption and
wear, note the following:
R
avoid short trips.
R always ensure that the tire pressure is cor-
rect.
R avoid frequent and abrupt acceleration.
R avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
R remove ski and roof racks once you no lon-
ger need them.
R do not warm up the engine while the vehicle
is stationary.
R shift gears in a timely manner so that each
gear is used only up to 2
/ 3 of its maximum
engine speed.
R monitor the fuel consumption.
A regularly serviced vehicle will also help pro-
tect the environment. Comply with the main-
tenance intervals indicated by the ASSYST
service interval display, as well as any other 2
Protection of the environmentGeneral

and/or anticorrosion/antifreeze products
other than those approved for your vehicle
are being used. You can find coolant
instructions under the "Coolant" section of
the vehicle Operator's Manual. Contact an
authorized Sprinter Dealer for a list of anti-
corrosion/antifreeze products that are
approved for your vehicle. Wear parts
The maintenance computer recommends the
inspection of certain wear parts, however, it
cannot judge the condition of these wear
parts. Only qualified aftersales technicians
can determine if a wear part should be
replaced. Regular checks
In addition to the maintenance service, you
should also perform regular checks on the
following (e.g. weekly, when refueling, or
before any long journey):
R Oil level –Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, check the oil level of the engine using
either the oil dipstick or using the control
system via the multifunction steering
wheel/multifunction display. Refer to the
Operator's Manual for more information on
measuring the engine oil level.
R Coolant level – The correct procedure for
checking the coolant level is described in
the Operator's Manual.
R Brake fluid level –If the brake fluid has to
be refilled, visit an authorized Sprinter
Dealer and have the cause determined, e.g.
leakage or worn brake pads.
R Windshield washer system – If the
washer fluid level falls below 1/3 full, the
warning lamp for the washer fluid level
lights up. Add washer fluid mixed with an
approved windshield washer concentrate,
test function and check wiper blades. R
Lighting system
R Tire condition and tire pressure –Check
at least once a month. Refer to the "Tires
and Wheels" section in the Operator's Man-
ual for guidelines and the correct proce-
dure for checking the tire condition and tire
pressure. Notes on the warranty

fessionals.
