\3 Vehicle electronics
Electrical and electronic equipment can
jeopardize the operational safety of your
vehicle. If equipment of this kind is ret-
rofitted, it must be type-approved and
must bear the
e mark.
If you wish to install telephones or two-
way radios in the vehicle, you must ob-
tain formal approval.
The manufacturer recommends that you
consult an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Tampering with the engine elec-
tronics !Work on the engine electronics and
all associated parts such as control
units, sensors and connector leads
should only be performed at an au-
thorized Sprinter Dealer. Vehicle
parts could otherwise wear more
quickly and the vehicle’s warranty or
general operating permit could be in-
validated.
Warning
G
For safety reasons and to avoid invalidat-
ing the general operating permit, always
have work on the engine electronics and
associated parts performed at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer which has the nec-
essary 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 carried out at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.
