Protection of the environment
General notes
H
Environmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of
comprehensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
that form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in a manner
that takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an
environmentally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are affected
by these factors:
R operating conditions of your vehicle
R your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
R avoid short trips as these increase fuel
consumption.
R always make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
R do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R remove roof racks once you no longer need
them.
R a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R always have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
R do not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
R do not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary.
R drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking. R
change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to 0004of its maximum engine speed.
R switch off the engine in stationary traffic.
R keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel
consumption. Environmental issues and
recommendations
When prompted by this Operator's Manual to
dispose of materials, please try to regenerate
and recycle these materials. Observe all
relevant environmental guidelines and
regulations when disposing of materials. This
helps to protect the environment. Product information
We recommend original Sprinter parts and
conversion parts and accessories that have
been approved expressly for the type of
vehicle concerned.
We test genuine Sprinter parts, as well as
conversion parts and accessories that have
been specifically approved for the type of
vehicle, for:
R reliability
R safety
R suitability
Despite ongoing market research, we are
unable to assess other parts. We therefore
accept no responsibility for the use of such
parts in a Sprinter, even if they have been
independently or officially approved.
Genuine Sprinter parts, as well as specifically
approved conversion parts and accessories,
can be obtained at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer. Here you will receive advice about
permissible technical modifications, and the
parts will be professionally installed. 22

thoraxbag is deployed
.Please contac ta
qualified specialist workshop for availability. G
WARNING
The pressure sensors for controlling the
thoraxbags are located in the doors. Do not
modify any components of the doors or door
trim panels including, for example, the
addition of door speakers.
Improperly performed repairs on the doors,
modifications to the doors or attached parts
can result in the failure or unintentional
deployment of the thoraxbag. Work on the
doors must therefore only be performed by
qualified technicians. Please contact a
qualified specialist workshop. Thoraxbags
0005are only installed for individual
seats in the outer seat cushions of the driver's
and co-driver's seats.
When activated, thoraxbags 0005increase
protection for the chest area of the occupants
facing the impact .However, they do not
protect the:
R head
R neck
R arms
Thoraxbags 0005are deployed:
R on the side on which the impact occurs
R at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or
acceleration, e.g. in aside impact
R whether or not the seat belt is fastened R
independently of the front air bags
R independently of the Emergency
Tensioning Devices
In a side collision with deceleration below the
vehicle's pre-set deceleration values or
acceleration values, thoraxbags 0005are not
deployed. You will the nbe protected by the
seat belt, provided that it is fastened.
Window curtain air bags Window curtain air bags
0005enhance
protection for the head (but not the chest or
arms) of the vehicle occupants on the side of
the vehicle on which the impact occurs.
The window curtain air bags are installed in
the side of the roof frame above the front
doors.
Window curtain air bags 0005are deployed:
R on the side on which the impact occurs
R at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or
acceleration, e.g. in aside impact
R whether or not the seat belt is fastened
R regardless of whether the co-driver's seat
is occupied
R independently of the front air bags
R independently of the Emergency
Tensioning Devices
Window curtain air bags will not deploy in
impacts which do not exceed the system's
prese tdeployment thresholds for lateral
acceleration/deceleration .You will then be
protected by the seat belt, provided that it is
fastened. 46

G
WARNING
If the seat belt is released while driving, the
child restraint system will no longer be
secured properly. The special seat belt
retractor is disabled and the inertia real draws
in a portion of the seat belt. The seat belt
cannot be immediately refastened. There is
an increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Stop the vehicle immediately, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions.
Reactivate the special seat belt retractor and
secure the child restraint system properly.
All seat belts in the vehicle, except the
driver's seat belt, are equipped with a special
seat belt retractor. When activated, the
special seat belt retractor ensures that the
seat belt cannot slacken once the child seat
is secured.
X To activate the special seat belt
retractor: install the child restraint
system. Observe the child-seat
manufacturer's installation instructions
when doing so.
X Pull the seat belt smoothly from the inertia
reel.
X Engage the belt tongue in the seat belt
buckle. X
Extend the seat belt fully and then allow the
inertia reel to retract the belt.
Ar atcheting noise can be heard when the
belt is retracting; this indicates activation
of the special seat belt retractor.
X Press the child restraint system down
firmly into the seat to avoid any play.
X To disable the special seat belt
retractor: press the seat belt buckle
release butto nand allow the belt to retract
fully.
The sea tbelt can be used in the normal
manner again. Child-proof locks
Important safety notes

If the child restraint system is subjected to
direct sunlight, parts may get very hot.
Children may burn themselves on these parts,
particularly on the metal parts of the child
restraint system. There is a risk of injury.
If you leave the vehicle, taking the child with
you, always ensure that the child restraint
system is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Protect it with a blanket, for example. If the
child restraint system has been exposed to
direct sunlight, let it cool down before
securing the child in it. Never leave children
unattended in the vehicle.
You can activate the child-proof lock for the
sliding door ( Ypage 55) and for the rear
