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.
Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tension-
ing Devices (ETDs) contain perchlorate mate-
rial, which may require special handling and
regard for the environment. The guidelines
must be observed during disposal.
In California, you can find more information
on the Internet at www.dtsc.ca.gov. Notes on operating the vehicle
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R the vehicle makes contact with the ground,
e.g. on a high curb or a loose road surface
R you drive too quickly over an obstacle, e.g.
a curb or a pothole
R a heavy object hits the underbody or chas-
sis component
In these or similar situations, the vehicle
body/frame, the underbody, chassis compo-
nents, wheels or tires could be damaged even
if this is not visible from the outside. Compo-
nents that have been damaged in this way can
unexpectedly fail or no longer be able to
assimilate the loads occurring in the event of an accident. If the underbody paneling is
damaged, flammable material, such as
leaves, grass or twigs, could collect between the underbody and underbody paneling.
These materials could ignite if they remain in contact with hot components of the exhaust
system for an extended period. 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.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired imme- diately at a qualified specialist workshop. If
you become aware when continuing the jour-
ney that driving safety has been effected,
stop as soon as possible in accordance with
the traffic conditions. In such cases, consult a
qualified specialist workshop. Declaration of conformity

ation is subject to the following two condi-
tions: 1) These devices may not cause harm-
ful interference. 2. This device must accept
any interference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment."
Canada: "The wireless devices of this vehicle

Introduction

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.
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. Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

R center console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.

safety-relevant systems, e.g. the brake sys-
tem. Only use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
or parts of equal quality. Only use tires,
wheels and accessories that have been spe-
cifically approved for your vehicle.
We test genuine Sprinter parts, as well as
conversion parts and accessories that have
been specifically approved for the type of

Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes- Benz is unable to assess other parts. There-
fore, we accept no responsibility for the use of
such parts in Sprinter vehicles, even if they
have been officially approved or independ-
ently approved by a testing center.
In some countries, certain parts are only offi- cially approved for installation or modification
if they comply with legal requirements. All
genuine Sprinter parts satisfy these require-
ments. Make sure that all parts are suitable
for your vehicle.
Always specify the vehicle identification num- ber (VIN) and engine number when ordering
genuine Sprinter parts (Y page 316).Service and vehicle operation

No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive wheels. Releas-
ing the brakes will allow you to
move the vehicle freely, e.g. by
pushing.
Do not move the selector lever to N
while driving. The automatic trans-
mission could otherwise be dam-
aged.
If ASR is deactivated or ESP ®
has
malfunctioned: only move the
selector lever to Nif the vehicle is
in danger of skidding, e.g. on icy
roads. 003A Drive
The automatic transmission
changes gear itself. All forward
gears are available.
You can influence the gearshifts
and shift gears yourself or limit the
shift range. Changing gear
The 5-speed automatic transmission adapts
to your individual driving style by continu-
ously adjusting its shift points. These shift
point adjustments take into account the cur-
rent operating and driving conditions. If the
operating or driving conditions change, the
automatic transmission reacts by adjusting
the gearshift program.
When the selector lever is in position D, the
automatic transmission selects the individual gears automatically. This depends on:
R any restriction in the shift range
(Y page 144)
R the position of the accelerator pedal
R the road speed Touchshift
When the selector lever is in position D, you
can perform gearshifts yourself.
X To shift down: press the selector lever to
the left towards D–.
The automatic transmission shifts to the
next gear down, depending on the gear cur-
rently engaged. The shift range is also
restricted.
i The automatic transmission does not shift
down if you press the selector lever
towards D–while traveling at too high a
speed. This protects the engine from over-
revving.
X To shift up: briefly press the selector lever
to the right towards D+.
The automatic transmission shifts to the
next gear up, depending on the current
gearshift program. This also extends the
shift range. Automatic transmission
