Introduction
\3 Environmental protectionEnvironmental note
H
Chrysler’s declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.The objectives are for the natural resourc-
es which form the basis of our existence
on this planet to be used sparingly and in
a manner which takes the requirements
of both nature and humanity into ac-
count.You too can contribute to environmental
protection by operating your vehicle in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and engine, transmis-
sion, brake and tire wear depend on the
two following factors:
\4Operating conditions of your vehicle
\4Your personal driving style
You can influence both factors.
Observe the following notes:
Operating conditions
\4Avoid driving short distances as this
increases fuel consumption.
\4Make sure that the tire pressures are
always correct.
\4Do not carry any unnecessary weight
in / on the vehicle.
\4Keep an eye on the vehicle’s fuel con-
sumption.
\4Remove roof racks once you no long-
er need them.
\4A regularly serviced vehicle will con-
tribute to environmental protection.
You should therefore adhere to the
specified service intervals.
\4Always have maintenance work car-
ried out at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.

cates the engine’s overrevving range.

interrupted when the red band is
reached.Tachometer!
CAUTION

range. Doing so could damage the
engine.
Environmental note
H
Avoid high engine speeds. These could in-
crease your vehicle’s fuel consumption
unnecessarily and damage the environ-
ment through increased pollutant emis-
sions.SpeedometeriIn some countries, a signal sounds
when the vehicle reaches the maxi-
mum speed limit, e.g. at 75 mph
(120 km/h).

\3 Auxiliary heating/ventilation*The auxiliary heating heats or ventilates
the interior to a temperature that you
have set. The auxiliary heating can be
operated with the engine switched on or
off.
The auxiliary heating is equipped with a
water heater.
Warning
G
Exhaust fumes are produced while the aux-
iliary heating is in operation. For this rea-
son, switch off the auxiliary heating in
enclosed spaces without an extraction sys-
tem, e.g. a garage.
Operation of the auxiliary heating system is
prohibited at gas stations or when refueling
your vehicle. The auxiliary heating must
therefore be switched off at refueling sta-
tions.
Warning
G
Observe the relevant safety regulations in
the case of vehicles used for the transport
of hazardous goods.
Aerosols, gas cartridges and other pressur-
ized containers transported in the vehicle
may be highly flammable and could explode
when heated.
Make sure that the containers described
are kept away from the flow of hot air from
the auxiliary heating.
Otherwise, you could endanger yourself
and others.
