certain warranty related repairs may be
performed by any available repair location
or by any individual using any replacement

hicle warrantor will reimburse the owner

ment for emergency repairs not performed

General Information
It’s your responsibility to properly maintain
your new vehicle. Follow the instructions
contained in the Maintenance Booklet.
Regular, scheduled maintenance is essen-
tial to trouble-free operation. If there is a
dispute between you and the vehicle war-
rantor concerning your maintenance of
your vehicle, the vehicle warrantor will re-
quire you to provide proof that your vehicle
was properly maintained.
For your convenience, the vehicle's Main-
tenance Booklet contains a confirmation
section. It is included in the Owner's Liter-
ature Package. You should use the mainte-
nance confirmation pages to keep track of
scheduled maintenance, either by routine-
ly having the repairs entered in the confir-
mation pages, or by keeping receipts or
other documentation of work you’ve had
done on your vehicle in your Maintenance
Booklet.Where to Go For Maintenance
The vehicle warrantor recommends that
you return to the authorized Sprinter Deal-
er from whom you bought your vehicle for
all maintenance service both during and af-
ter the warranty periods. Although you can
get warranty service from any dealer who
sells your particular make, returning to
your selling dealer will help ensure that all
your service needs are met and that you're
completely satisfied. The dealership tech-
nicians are specifically trained to profi-
ciently perform maintenance and repair
procedures on your vehicle.
Authorized Sprinter dealers will help en-
sure that all your service needs are met
and that you’re completely satisfied. The
vehicle warrantor strongly recommends
you use Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts to
maintain your vehicle.
