G
Always have maintenance work carried out
at an authorized Sprinter Dealer which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you use
an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
If this work is carried out incorrectly, the op-
erating safety of the heater can no longer be
guaranteed and there is a risk of accident
and injury.
