Storage
Only store DEF in containers made of high-
alloy Cr-Ni steel or Mo-Cr-Ni steel in
accordance with DIN EN 10 088-1/2/3 or
plastic containers made of polypropylene or
polyethylene.
!
Containers made of aluminum, copper,
copper alloys as well as unalloyed or
galvanized steel
are not suitable for storing
DEF. If stored in these types of containers,
DEF could cause constituents of these
metals to dissolve and cause irreparable
damage to the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
Damage caused by dissolved components
of the storage container will result in a loss
of your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
entitlements.
Disposal Observe country-specific laws and
regulations when disposing of DEF.
0040Environmental note
Dispose of DEF in an environmentally
responsible manner.
Purity
The purity of DEF is essential to prevent
malfunctions in the exhaust gas
aftertreatment.
If DEF is pumped out of the DEF tank, e.g.
during repair work, the same liquid must not
be used
to

refill the tank. Its purity is no longer
guaranteed.
! Impurities in DEF (e.g. caused by other
service products, cleaning agents, dust,
etc.) result in increased emissions,
malfunctions, catalytic converter damage
or engine damage. Engine oils
Use only approved engine oil that complies
with the MB Specifications for Service
Products.
! The bottles of

the various engine oil types
are marked with ACEA (Association des
Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles)
and/or API (American Petroleum Institute)
classifications. Only use approved engine
oils that conform to the following MB
Specifications for Service Products and the
prescribed ACEA and/or API
classifications. Using engine oils of another
quality is not permitted and may lead to a
loss of your New Vehicle Limited Warranty
entitlements.
The use of other, non-approved engine oils
for diesel engines can cause damage to the
diesel particle filter (DPF).
The MB Specifications for Service Products
apply to your vehicle 1
R 228.51
R 229.51
These engine oils are of high quality and have
a beneficial effect on:
R engine wear
R fuel consumption
R emissions
Multi-grade engine oils of the prescribed SAE
class (viscosity) may be used all year round,
taking the outside temperatures into
account.
Oil change Oil change intervals depend on the vehicle's
operating conditions and the quality of the
engine oil used.
The on-board computer automatically shows
the date for the next oil change as an event
message in the display.
1 If the quality

level for diesel engines is not available, you may refill with engine oils that comply with the MB
Specifications for Service Products, Sheet No. 228.5, 229.3 and 229.5. The refill quantity is then limited to
a maximum of 1 qt (1 l). 156

Operation

G
Warning
Never use openings in the bodywork as steps.
You may otherwise

damage the vehicle or lose
your footing and injure yourself or others.
If you have to clean the upper areas of the
vehicle, always use suitable ladders or other
secure climbing aids. G
Warning
Dirty or
iced-up steps and entrances create a
risk of slipping or falling.
Keep steps, entrances

and footwear free from
dirt (e.g. mud, clay, snow and ice). Cleaning the interior of the vehicle
Seat belts !
Observe the following notes on cleaning
the seat belts:
R Remove any stains or dirt immediately.
This will avoid residue or damage.
R Do not bleach

or dye the seat belts. This
could impair the function of the seat
belts.
R Do not dry the seat belts in direct
sunlight or at temperatures above
176 ‡ (80 †).
Steering wheel boss and cockpit G
Warning!
When cleaning the steering wheel boss and
dashboard, do not use cockpit sprays or
cleaning agents containing

solvents. Cleaning
agents containing solvents cause the surface
to become porous, and as a result, plastic
parts may break away and be thrown around
the interior when an air bag is deployed, which
may result in severe injuries.
Use a damp, clean and lint-free cloth to clean
the plastic components and the cockpit. If
particularly dirty, use a mild detergent. !
Do not use
dry, coarse or hard cloths and
do not scrub. You could otherwise scratch
or damage the surfaces.
Radio and monitor display X
Switch off the radio or rear-view camera
monitor and let it cool.
X Clean the display surface with a
commercially available microfiber cloth
and cleaner for TFT/LCD displays.
X After drying,
polish the display surface with
a dry microfiber cloth, applying only light
pressure.
! Do not use dry, rough or hard cloths or
abrasive products, solvents or cleaning
agents containing solvents. Do not scrub.
Only apply light pressure when cleaning.
Otherwise, you will damage the display
surface, as it is sensitive to pressure and
susceptible to scratches.
Windows !
Do not use

dry cloths, abrasive products,
solvents or cleaning agents containing
solvents to clean the inside of the windows.
Clean the inside of the windows with a
damp cloth or a commercially available
glass cleaner.
Do not touch the inside of the rear and side
windows with hard objects, e.g. an ice
scraper or ring. You could otherwise
damage the windows or the rear window
defroster. Cleaning the exterior of the vehicle
General notes Scratches, corrosive
deposits, areas affected
by corrosion and damage caused by neglect
or inadequate care cannot always be
completely remedied. In this case, visit a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. the
nearest authorized Sprinter Dealer. 162

to safety or on safety-related systems must
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Observe the notes on parts in the "Technical
data" section ( Y page 276).
0040 Environmental note
Observe measures to protect the
environment when working on the vehicle.
You must observe the legal requirements
when disposing of service products, e.g.
engine oil. This

also includes all components,
e.g. filters, which have come into contact with
service products.
Any qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an
authorized Sprinter Dealer, can provide
information about this.
Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths
and care products in an environmentally-
responsible manner. Comply with the
instructions for use of the care products.
Do not run the engine for longer than
necessary when the vehicle is stationary. Active Service System (ASSYST)
The ASSYST service indicator informs you of
the next service due date.
A service that is due is displayed about a
month in advance. A message is then
displayed while the vehicle is in motion or
while the ignition is switched on.
i Periods when the

battery is disconnected
will not be recorded by ASSYST. To make
sure that you have the vehicle serviced at
the correct time, you should therefore
subtract periods when the battery is
disconnected from the days shown.
The service indicator does not provide
information about the oil level. The service
indicator should therefore not be confused
with the 00B5 engine oil level display. i
The service due date is displayed in days
or miles (kilometers), depending on the
total distance driven.
