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.

Warning
G
Failure to use fluids and lubricants which
meet the standards and specifications de-
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.

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.

Engine cooling system
Whenever the coolant is replaced, a concentration of 50% by volume of corrosion inhibitor/antifreeze should be maintained. This
provides antifreeze protection down to -34,6 °F (-37 °C).
Do not exceed a concentration of 55% by volume (antifreeze protection down to approximately -49 °F (-45 °C)), as the heat dissi-
pation properties deteriorate at higher concentrations.
