5 Introduction
Operating safety
The manufacturer warrants to the original
and each subsequent owner of a
Mercedes-Benz heavy-duty on highway
diesel engine that:
(1) the engine was designed, built and
equipped so as to conform at the time
of sale with the applicable regulations
adopted by the Federal Environmental
Protection Agency, and
(2) the emission control system of such
engine is free from defects in materials
and workmanship which would cause it
not to conform with those regulations
for a period of use of five years or
100000 miles or 3000 hours of engine
operation, whichever occurs first.
The Owner’s Warranty Information Book
contains detailed information about the
warranties covering your Sprinter.The manufacturer may instruct its autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer to carry out technical
inspections on certain vehicles to improve
their quality or safety.
If you did not purchase your vehicle from
an authorized dealership and your vehicle
has not yet been inspected at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer, there is a possibility
that your vehicle has not been registered in
your name with the manufacturer. The
manufacturer will only be able to inform
you about vehicle inspections if the manu-
facturer is in possession of your registra-
tion data.
It is advisable to have your vehicle regis-
tered at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Inform the manufacturer as soon as possi-
ble if your address has changed or there
has been a change of vehicle owner.
Warning
G
A heavy impact to the underbody, tires or
wheels, for example when bottoming out on
rough terrain or driving over an obstacle at
high speed, could damage your vehicle. This
also applies to vehicles equipped with un-
derbody protection.
In this case, have your vehicle checked at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required. The manufac-
turer recommends that you use an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer for this purpose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.

Child restraint systems
We recommend all infants and children be
properly restrained at all times while the
vehicle is in motion.
All lap-shoulder belts except the driver’s
seat belt have special seat belt retractors
for secure fastening of child restraints.
To fasten a child restraint, follow child re-
straint instructions for mounting. Then pull
the shoulder belt out completely and let it
retract. During seat belt retraction, a ratch-eting sound can be heard to indicate taht
the special seat belt retractor is activated.
The belt is now locked. push down on child
restraint to take up any slack.
To deactivate, release seat belt buckle and
let seat belt retract completely. The seat
belt can again be used in the usual
manner.Do not carry heavy or hard objects inside
the vehicle or load compartment unless they
are secured. You will find further information
under “Transporting156” (\2page 156) and
“Features164” (\2page 164) in the “Con-
trols in detail” section.
An unsecured or incorrectly positioned load
increases the risk of injury to occupants,
particularly children, in the event of:
\4sharp braking
\4a sudden change of direction
\4an accident
Warning
G
Never release the seat belt buckle while the
vehicle is in motion, since the special seat
belt retractor will be deactivated.Warning
G
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury to
a child in the event of an accident, sharp
braking or a sudden change in direction:
\4Always secure children less than 5 ft
(1.50 m) tall or under 12 years of age in
a special child restraint system installed
on a suitable vehicle seat, since the seat
belts are not designed for this body size.
\4Do not secure children under 12 years
of age on the co-driver’s seat unless
they are secured in a suitable forward-
facing child restraint system.
\4It is not permitted to secure a child in a
rearward-facing child restraint system
on the co-driver’s seat if the vehicle is
equipped with a co-driver’s airbag.
Only secure a rearward-facing child re-
straint system on a suitable rear seat.
\4Always move the co-driver’s seat to its
rearmost position if you have secured a
child on this seat in a forward-facing
child restraint system.
\4A child must never be carried sitting on
the lap of a vehicle occupant. It would
not be possible to restrain the child as a
result of the forces acting in the event of
an accident, braking or abrupt changes
in direction. The child would be thrown
against parts of the vehicle interior and
be seriously or fatally injured.
\4Vehicle occupants must wear their seat
belt correctly at all times.

The use of infant or child restraints is re-
quired by law in all 50 states, the District
of Columbia, the U.S. territories and all Ca-
nadian provinces.
Infants and small children should be seat-
ed in an appropriate infant or child re-
straint system properly secured by a lap /
shoulder belt or, if so equipped, a top teth-
er anchorage point and a child restraint
lower anchorage system that complies
with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards 213 and 225 and Canadian Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 and
210.2.
Warning
G
If the child restraint system is not installed
correctly on a suitable vehicle seat, the child
may not be restrained in the event of an ac-
cident or sudden braking and may be seri-
ously or fatally injured. For this reason,
always observe the installation instructions
issued by the child restraint system manu-
facturer and the intended use for the child
restraint system when fitting it.
It is advisable to install the child restraint
system on one of the rear seats. The child is
generally better protected there.
Do not place objects (for example a cushion)
underneath the child restraint system. The
entire base of the child restraint system
must be in contact with the seat cushion at
all times.
Child restraint systems must not be used
without the original cover. Replace damaged
covers only with original covers.
On the rear seats, only use child restraint sys-
tems recommended by the manufacturer.
Warning
G
If you no longer require the child restraint sys-
tem, remove it from the vehicle or secure it
with the seat belt.
The restraint system could otherwise be
thrown through the vehicle interior in the
event of an accident.Warning
G
A child secured in a child restraint system
could be seriously or fatally injured in the
event of an accident, braking or a sudden
change in direction if the child restraint sys-
tem or its securing system is already dam-
aged or has been subjected to a load in an
accident.
Have restraint systems and their securing
systems which have been damaged or sub-
jected to a load in an accident checked and,
if necessary, replaced immediately at a
qualified specialist workshop which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
for the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you use
an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this pur-
pose. All work relevant to safety or on safe-
ty-related systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
