latest, after receiving the first warning mes-
sage 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 message
appears for the first time, and under normal
driving conditions, the remaining DEF supply
will last for approximately 1000 miles
(1600 km).
If a reserve mark of 0.8 US gal (3.0 l) is
reached, a second warning message is issued and a warning tone sequence sounds. After
the first message, the DEF supply will last for
approximately 1200 miles (1900 km). Subse-
quently, you will only be able to start the
engine a further 16 times.
You should immediately add 2.0 US gal (7.6 l)
of DEF (Y page 147) or have the DEF supply
reservoir filled at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
When the number of remaining engine starts
is 0
0 and the engine is restarted, the engine
management prevents the vehicle from being
driven at a speed exceeding 5 mph (8 km/h).
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 211). 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 147) and "Service
products and capacities" (Y page 320) sec-
tions. Attachments, bodies, equipment and
conversions
Information about body/equipment
mounting directives !
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.
Please observe the information concerning
Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts (Y page 27).
Further information can be obtained at any
authorized Sprinter Dealer. G
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. 26
Introduction

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. 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 status
R events
R malfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
This includes, 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 the vehicle's reactions and operating sta-
tuses 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 exclusively technical in nature
and can be used to:
R assist in the detection and rectification of
malfunctions and defects
R analyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
R optimize vehicle functions The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's
movements.
When you use one of the available services,
technical information may be read from the
event data memory and malfunction data
memory.
Services include, for example:
R repair services
R service processes
R warranty claims
R quality assurance
The information is read out by employees of
the service network (including manufactur-
ers) using special diagnostic testers. Further
information is available there 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 damage to the vehicle
R witness statements
Further additional functions which are con-
tractually agreed with the customer likewise
allow specific vehicle data to be obtained
from the vehicle. Such additional functions
include vehicle locating in an emergency, for
example. Introduction
