Exhaust gas aftertreatment
The exhaust gas aftertreatment requires a
reducing agent known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) in order to function correctly. Filling up
the DEF tank is usually part of the service
scope. DEF consumption depends on opera-
tional and driving conditions and it is not nec-
essary to wait until the next scheduled
service to replenish the fluid. Fluid should be
added regularly to the DEF supply reservoir
during vehicle operation or, at the latest, after
receiving the first warning message via the
on-board computer.
To conform to emission regulations, you must
operate the vehicle with DEF and refill the
supply regularly. The engine management
recognizes attempts to operate the vehicle
without DEF, with thinned DEF or with
another reducing agent. After previous warn-
ing messages, the engine management then
prevents a further engine start.
If the DEF level drops below 1.5 US gal
(5.5 l), the first warning message is issued
and a warning tone sounds. After the mes-
sage appears for the first time, and under
normal driving conditions, the remaining DEF
reserve will last for approximately
1000 miles (1600 km) before the next mes-
sage.
After that, the 0.8 US gal (3.0 l)reserve mark
is reached. Once the reserve range has been
reached, you will receive the next warning
message and you will hear a series of warning
tones. After the first message, the DEF
reserve will last for approximately
1,200 miles (1,900 km) until the next mes-
sage is shown. However, you will only be able
to start the engine another 16 times.
You should immediately add 2.0 US gal
(7.6 l) of DEF (Y page 150) or have the DEF
supply reservoir filled at a qualified specialist
workshop.
When the number of remaining engine starts
is 0
0 the engine management prevents the
vehicle being driven at a speed exceeding 5 mph (8 km/h). The
Idle Mode Idle Modemessage
appears in the multifunction display:
If the 00B9 Check Engine indicator lamp lights
up, the exhaust gas aftertreatment is faulty or
an emission-related malfunction has occur-
red (Y page 213). You will then only be able
to drive a maximum 50 mi (80 km) before the
engine management restricts the number of
starts remaining.
If the exhaust gas aftertreatment is faulty,
have it checked and repaired at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Further information on DEF can be found in
the "Refueling" (Y page 149) and "Service
products and capacities" (Y page 324) sec-
tions. Attachments, bodies, equipment and
conversions
General notes !
For safety reasons, have add-on equip-
ment manufactured and installed accord-
ing to the Sprinter body/equipment mount-
ing directives in force. These body/equip-
ment mounting directives ensure that the
chassis and the body form one unit and that
maximum operating and road safety is ach-
ieved.
We recommend for safety reasons that:
R you carry out no other modifications to
the vehicle.
R you obtain the agreement of the distrib-
utor named on the inside of the front
cover for any deviations from the
approved body/equipment mounting
directives.
Approval from certified inspection agen-
cies or official approvals cannot rule out
risks to your safety.
We recommend that you use genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts as well as conversion
parts and accessories that have been specif-
ically approved by Mercedes-Benz for the
type of vehicle. Introduction

ately to have the problem diagnosed and rec-
tified.
If the problem cannot be rectified to your sat-
isfaction there:
R please discuss the problem with a manage-
ment representative from the authorized
Sprinter Dealer.
R if necessary, contact the distributor named
on the inside of the front cover. Limited Warranty
! Follow the instructions in this Operator's
Manual about the proper operation of your
vehicle as well as about possible vehicle
damage. Damage to your vehicle that
arises from culpable contravention of these
instructions is not covered by the Limited
Warranty of the distributor named on the
inside of the front cover. Data stored in the vehicle
A wide range of electronic components in
your vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
R The vehicle's operating state
R Incidents
R Malfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
These include, for example:
R operating conditions of system compo-
nents, e.g. fluid levels
R the vehicle's status messages and those of
its individual components, e.g. number of
wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in
movement, lateral acceleration, accelera-
tor pedal position
R malfunctions and defects in important sys-
tem components, e.g. lights, brakes R
vehicle reactions and operating conditions
in special driving situations, e.g. air bag
deployment, intervention of stability
control systems
R ambient conditions, e.g. outside tempera-
ture
This data is of an exclusively technical nature
and can be used to:
R assist in recognizing and rectifying mal-
functions and defects
R analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
R optimize vehicle function
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor-
mation can be read from the event data mem-
ory and malfunction data memory.
Services include, for example:
R repair services
R service processes
R warranties
R quality assurance
It is read by employees of the service network
(including manufacturers) using special diag-
nostic devices. More detailed information is
obtained from it, if required.
After a malfunction has been rectified, the
information is deleted from the malfunction
memory or is continually overwritten.
When operating the vehicle, situations are
conceivable in which this technical data, in
connection with other information (if neces-
sary, under consultation with an authorized
expert), could be traced to a person.
Examples include:
R accident reports
R damages to the vehicle
R witness statements
Further additional functions that have been
contractually agreed upon with the customer
allow certain vehicle data to be conveyed by
the vehicle as well. The additional functions Introduction
