G
The integrated seat belt can only offer the
degree of protection for which it is de-
signed if you install the specified rear
bench seats correctly. Therefore, you
must have the rear bench seat with four
seats installed only by a qualified special-
ist workshop, e.g., an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.Keep the seat bench mounting cups in the
vehicle floor free from dirt and foreign ob-
jects. This is the only way to guarantee
that the locking mechanisms will engage
securely.

Warning
G
The rear lamps are concealed when the
rear doors are opened 90° (detent posi-
tion).
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 acci-
dent.
Make sure, therefore, that the vehicle is
safeguarded at the rear in accordance
with national legal requirements, e.g.
with a warning triangle.

Warning
G
Motion detectors work with invisible in-
frared beams emitted by LEDs (Light
Emitting Diodes).
Do not view invisible infrared radiation, la-
ser class 1M, directly using optical instru-
ments.
Your eyes could otherwise be injured.
iIf the motion detector detects move-
ment in the load compartment when
the vehicle is stationary, the rear in-
terior lighting switches on for ap-
proximately 2 minutes. If new
movements are detected, the dura-
tion resumes from the beginning and
the rear interior lighting remains
switched on.
iThe motion detector switches off auto-
matically if no change is detected in the
vehicle for several hours, e.g. door
opened, ignition key turned, etc.This prevents the battery from dis-
charging.
