Front airbags
The front airbags are designed to increase
protection to the driver’s and co-driver’s/
co-drivers' head and chest.
The driver’s airbag is located in the steer-
ing wheel housing; the co-driver’s is above
the glove box.
1Driver’s airbag
2Co-driver’s airbag
Driver’s front airbag1 inflates in front of
the steering wheel; co-driver’s front
airbag2 inflates in front of and above the
glove box and the center console.
Warning
G
After an airbag has been triggered:
\4airbag parts are hot – do not touch
them, otherwise you could be burnt
\4the airbags must be replaced at a quali-
fied specialist workshop 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
purpose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Warning
G
A small amount of fine powder is released as
an airbag inflates. This powder does not
constitute a health hazard, nor does it imply
that fire has broken out in the vehicle. This
powder could cause short-term breathing
difficulties for persons suffering from asth-
ma or other respiratory conditions. To avoid
these breathing difficulties, you should ei-
ther:
\4leave the vehicle immediately, if it is
possible to do so safely
or
\4open the window to allow fresh air to
enter

Activating/deactivating ASR
ASR is automatically activated as soon as
the engine is switched on.
It may be best to deactivate ASR in the fol-
lowing situations:
\4if snow chains are being used
\4in deep snow
\4on sand or gravel
If you deactivate ASR:
\4the engine’s torque is then no longer
limited and the drive wheels could spin;
the spinning wheels produce a cutting
effect for better traction
\4traction control still intervenes by brak-
ing if one drive wheel reaches its grip
limit, for example if the surface under
one side of the vehicle is slippery. The
wheel is then braked to increase trac-
tion in this situation.
\4ESP
® still intervenes to stabilize the ve-
hicleThe ASR switch is located on the center
console.
1To deactivate/activate ASR
\1To switch off: press upper section1
of the switch.
The v warning lamp in the speed-
ometer lights up.
\1To switch on: press upper section1
of the switch again.
Thev warning lamp in the speed-
ometer goes out.
Warning
G
ESP
® remains active despite ASR having
been deactivated and carries out braking in-
terventions if this is necessary to improve
driving stability. Thev warning lamp
flashes.
If ASR is deactivated, there is an increased
risk that the brake system of your vehicle
could overheat and be damaged when sub-
jected to high loads for a long period of time.
A hot brake system also increases the stop-
ping distance.
For this reason, only deactivate ASR when it
is absolutely necessary.

opposite direction slightly and stops.

door is correctly engaged in the detent.Warning
G
The anti-trap protection function does not
eliminate the possibility of fingers or other
parts of the body being trapped against the
door frame and therefore does not eliminate
the risk of injury.
Always make sure that nobody is within the
operating range of the sliding door.iThe anti-trap protection is programmed
to be less sensitive when you press and
hold the switch on the center console
or the switch in the doorway than when
the door opens of its own accord.
Rear doorsWarning
G
When you open the rear door:
\4there must be sufficient clearance
\4make sure that nobody can become
trappedWarning
G
The rear lamps are concealed by more than
50% when you open the rear doors through
90° or more.
The vehicle is then not sufficiently safe-
guarded at the rear and may only be seen by
other road users when they are close to the
vehicle. This could lead to an accident.
Make sure, therefore, that the vehicle is
safeguarded at the rear in accordance with
national legal requirements, e.g. with a
warning triangle.
