Warning (Continued)
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.

The lever for adjusting the steering col-
umn is under the steering wheel.
Warning
G
Only adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is stationary. Only drive with the
steering wheel locked in position.
An incorrectly secured steering wheel
could make it more difficult to steer the
vehicle safely, since the height and fore-
and-aft adjustment could move out of po-
sition when the steering wheel is turned.
You could lose control of the vehicle as a
result, cause an accident and injure your-
self and others.
Warning
