ousWaste/Perchlorate/ index.cfm. G
WARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or any required repairs
carried out, this can result in malfunctions or
system failures. There is a risk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/mainte-
nance work as well as any required repairs
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as
intended and/or jeopardize the operating
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a
risk of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.

Introduction

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
27 Z

These parts have been specially tested to
establish their safety, reliability and suitabil-
ity.
Further information can be obtained at any
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Notes on the radiator Even seemingly small changes to the vehicle,
such as attaching a radiator trim for winter
driving, is not permitted. Do not cover up the
radiator. Do not use thermal mats, insect pro-
tection covers or anything similar.
Otherwise, the values of the diagnostic sys-
tem may be affected. Some of these values
are legally prescribed and must always be
correct.
Information on the cargo compartment
floor !
The wooden or plastic cargo area floor fit-
ted at the factory is an integral component
of the vehicle structure. The vehicle body
could be damaged if you have the load area
floor removed. This then affects the secur-
ing of loads and the maximum loading
capacity of the lashing points is no longer
guaranteed.
Therefore, do not have the load area floor
removed.

WARNING
The function of systems or components can
be affected by conversions or modifications
to the vehicle. They might not function prop-
erly any more and/or jeopardize the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of an accident and injury.
Conversions or modifications should always
be carried out at qualified specialist work-
shop.
If you intend to make modifications to your
vehicle, we strongly recommend that you contact the distributor named on the inside
of the front cover. There you will receive all
the necessary information and a charge may
be levied.
You alone accept the responsibility if body
manufacturers or dealers make modifications
that affect the final certification of the engine,
the vehicle or the equipment. This also
applies to the identification and documenta-
tion of modifications to the affected vehicle
components.
You are responsible for certification and con-
firmation that:
R all the applicable standards and regulations
that are affected by the vehicle modifica-
tion are met
R the modified vehicle fulfills the vehicle
safety standards and emissions laws and
regulations
R the modifications or installation of acces-
sories does not affect the safety of the
vehicle
We are not responsible for the final certifica-
tion, product liability or warranty claims
which result from the modifications. This
applies to:
R the modified components, assemblies or
systems
R any resulting noncompliance with any of
the emissions laws and regulations or the
motor vehicle safety standards
R any consequences arising from the
changes that make the vehicle less safe or
even render it defective
We do not assume responsibility as the final-
stage manufacturer or for the consequential
product liability. Problems with your vehicle
If you should experience a problem with your
vehicle, particularly one that you believe may
affect its safe operation, we urge you to con-
tact an authorized Sprinter Dealer immedi- 28
