Service products are tested for suitabili-
ty in our assemblies. Approved service
products meet the highest quality stan-
dards and are listed in the
Mercedes-
Benz Specifications for Service Pro-
ducts
. For this reason, only use service
products that have been approved for
your vehicle. This is an important condi-
tion for warranty claims to be upheld. In-formation about approved service
products is available from all authorized
Sprinter Dealers.
You will find details about windshield
washer fluid in the “Operation” section
(

page 333).
It is neither necessary nor permissible to
mix special additives with approved ser-
vice products (except for approved fuel
additives). Therefore, special additives
must not be mixed with fuels or lubri-
cants. The properties of the service
products could be adversely affected by
special additives and result in damage to
the assemblies.The vehicle operator is responsible at all
times for any use of special additives.
The use of special additives may result in
a limitation or an invalidation of your
warranty entitlement.

scribed in this booklet or failure to adhere
to the specified replacement intervals
may result in damage to safety/ and/or
emissions-related systems of your vehi-
cle, such as the brake system, which
could cause an accident and/or serious
injury to you and others.
Use only fluids and lubricants meeting the
standards and specifications and adhere
to specified replacement intervals.
!
CAUTION
Damage caused by the use of non-ap-
proved service products is not cov-
ered by the Sprinter vehicle warranty.

G
Do not inhale fumes. Make sure that en-
closed spaces are adequately ventilated
to prevent poisoning.Service products must not come into con-
tact with the skin, eyes or clothing. If con-
tact is made with a service product, clean
the affected areas of skin with water and
soap to prevent burns and other injuries.Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water in

BrakesUse brake fluid approved for Chrysler Vans LLC standard MB 331.0 and/or Chrysler Vans LLC material standard MS-9971, brake
fluid certified to DOT 4 Plus standards, that also maintains a minimum dry boiling point (ERBP) of 500 °F (260 °C), a minimum wet
boiling point (WERBP) of 356 °F (180 °C) and a maximum viscosity of 1500 mm
2/s, conforming to FMVSS 116 and ISO 4925.

2 Over the course of a brake fluid’s service life, its boiling point falls due to the continuous absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. If the boiling point
of the brake fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when driving on long downhill stretches).
This has a detrimental effect on braking efficiency, which could increase the stopping distance. This increases the risk of an accident. Have the brake fluid
renewed every 2 years.
