i Vehicles with automatic headlamp mode:
the instrument lighting also adapts to auto-
matic headlamp mode. Tachometer
! Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine. H
Environmental note
Avoid driving at high engine speeds. This
unnecessarily increases the fuel consumption of your vehicle and harms the environment asa result of increased emissions.
The red band in the tachometer indicates the engine's overrevving range.
To protect the engine, the fuel supply is inter-
rupted when the red band is reached. Outside temperature
You should pay special attention to road con-
ditions when temperatures are around the
freezing point. On vehicles without steering wheel buttons
(Y page 182) and on vehicles with steering
wheel buttons (Y page 187), the outside tem-
perature display is in the display.
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay. Speedometer
The speed can also be shown in the display.
You can find information on the digital speed-
ometer for vehicles without steering wheel
buttons under (Y page 182) and for vehicles
with steering wheel buttons under
(Y page 187).
i In some countries, a warning sounds
when the vehicle reaches the maximum
speed limit, e.g. at 75 mph (120 km/h). Trip odometer
X To reset: make sure that the display is
showing the trip odometer if you have a
vehicle with steering wheel buttons

Introduction G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements of
the country in which you are currently driving when operating a mobile phone in the vehicle.
If it is permitted to operate a mobile phone
while the vehicle is in motion, only operate it
when road and traffic conditions permit.
If you have connected a mobile phone to the
Sprinter hands-free system, you can operate
it using the functions in the TEL
TEL menu.
X Switch on the mobile phone (see the sep-
arate operating instructions).
X Switch on the audio equipment (see the
separate operating instructions).
X Establish a Bluetooth ®
connection
between the mobile phone and the audio
equipment (see the separate operating
instructions). X
Press the 0080or007F button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the TEL TELmenu.
X When Please enter PIN:
Please enter PIN: appears in the
display, enter the PIN using the mobile
phone or audio equipment.
The mobile phone will search for a network. The display remains blank during this time.
You will see the mobile phone operational
readiness display once the mobile phone
has found a network.
i You can obtain further information about
suitable mobile phones and connecting
mobile phones via Bluetooth ®
at any quali-
fied specialist workshop.
i If the mobile phone operational readiness
symbol goes out, your vehicle is outside of
the transmission and reception range.
Accepting a call X
Press the 0061button on the steering
wheel to accept an incoming call.
The display shows the call duration.
Rejecting or ending a call X
Press 0076button on the steering wheel to
reject or end a call.
The caller then hears the engaged tone.
The display shows the mobile phone opera- tional readiness symbol again.
Dialing a number from the phone book You can enter new telephone numbers into
the phone book via the mobile phone (see the
separate operating instructions). If your
mobile phone is able to receive calls, you can
search for and dial a number from the phone book. 196

i
Malfunctions resulting from paraffin sep-
aration can only be rectified by heating the
entire fuel system. Park the vehicle in a
heated garage, for example.
To prevent operating problems, diesel with
better flow qualities is available during the
winter months. You can obtain information at the gas station or from your fuel supplier.
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel preheat-
ing system. This improves the flow properties
of the diesel by approximately 46 ‡ (8 †).
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL can be used
without risk of malfunction down to an out-
side temperature of approximately 14 ‡
(00F810 †).
Fuel additives
! Do not add gasoline or kerosene to diesel
fuel to improve its flow characteristics.
Gasoline or kerosene impairs the lubricat-
ing properties of the diesel fuel. This can
result in damage to the fuel injection sys-
tem, for example.
Information on fuel consumption H
Environmental note
CO 2(carbon dioxide) is the gas which scien-
tists believe to be principally responsible for
global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO 2emissions are directly related to
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences, road conditions or
traffic flow
You can minimize your vehicle's CO 2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
Fuel consumption depends on: R the vehicle version
R the style of driving R
the operating conditions
R the type or quality of the fuel used
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in the following situations:
R at very low outside temperatures
R in city traffic
R during short journeys
R on mountainous terrain
R when towing a trailer
To keep fuel consumption low, observe the
advice in the "Protection of the environment" section (Y page 23).
The following components of the different
vehicle versions influence fuel consumption:
R tire sizes, tire tread, tire pressure, tire con-
dition
R body
R transmission ratios for the drive assem-
blies
R additional equipment (e.g. air-conditioning
system, auxiliary heating system)
For these reasons, the actual consumption
figures for your vehicle may deviate from the
consumption figures determined according
to EU Directive 80/1268/EEC.
Data concerning fuel consumption are recor- ded in the on-board computer; use the steer-
ing wheel buttons to call up the Trip com-
puter menu (Y page 195).
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) General notes
! Only use DEF in accordance with
ISO 22241. The exhaust gas aftertreatment system may otherwise be damaged.
Observe the MB Specifications for Service
Products, Sheet No. 352.0.
Damage caused by the use of other reduc-
ing agents will invalidate the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. 320
