Emergency Repairs
In the case of an emergency where
an authorized Sprinter Dealer is not
available, certain warranty related repairs
may be performed by any available
repair location or by any individual
using any replacement parts. A part
not being available within 30 days or a
repair not being complete within 30 days
constitutes an emergency. The vehicle
warrantor will reimburse the owner for
expenses (including diagnosis), not to
exceed the vehicle warrantor’s suggested
retail price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based on the
vehicle warrantor’s recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair and the
geographically appropriate hourly labor
rate. Replaced parts and paid invoices
must be presented as a condition of
reimbursement for emergency repairs
not performed by an authorized Sprinter
Dealer. Warranty Limitations
The vehicle warrantor is not responsible
for failures or damage resulting from
what the vehicle warrantor determines to
be abuse or neglect, including, but not
limited to: operation without adequate
coolants or lubricants; overfueling;
overspeeding; lack of maintenance of
cooling, lubricating or intake systems;
improper storage, starting, warm-up, run-
in or shut down practices; unauthorized
modifications to the engine. The vehicle
warrantor is also not responsible for
failures caused by incorrect oil or fuel or
by water, dirt or other contaminants in
the fuel or oil. The vehicle warrantor is
not responsible for failures resulting from
improper repair or the use of parts which
are not Genuine Mercedes-Benz approved
parts.
The vehicle warrantor is not responsible
for the material and labor costs of
emission control parts and assemblies
replaced during scheduled manitenance
of the vehicle as specified in the
Maintenance Booklet.
THIS WARRANTY, TOGETHER WITH
THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES
ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE

How to Get Warranty Service
Where to Take Your Vehicle
A. In the United States
(We Include U.S. Possessions and
Territories as Part of the United States
for Warranty Purposes):
Warranty service repairs or replacements
must be done by an authorized Sprinter
Dealer of the owner’s choice.
If you have difficulty locating a convenient
authorized Sprinter Dealer, please
contact the Customer Assistance Center
(
e Page 26). They can help you find the
closest authorized Sprinter Dealer.
B. In Canada and Mexico:
If you are traveling temporarily in Canada
or Mexico, and your vehicle remains
registered in the United States, your
New Vehicle Limited Warranty still
applies. Service may be requested at any
authorized Sprinter dealership.
C. In a Foreign Country Outside of
North America:
If you are traveling temporarily outside of
North America, and your vehicle remains
registered in the United States: •
You should take your vehicle to an
authorized Sprinter Dealer. They
should give you the same limited
warranty service you receive in the
United States.
• If the authorized dealership charges
you for repairs which you feel should
be covered under your limited
warranty, please get a detailed
receipt for the work done. Make sure
that this receipt lists all warranty
repairs and parts that were involved.
(This receipt will be similar to the
one used by the dealer who normally
services your vehicle.)
• When your vehicle returns to the
United States, contact the Customer
Assistance Center (
e Page 26) for
reimbursement consideration. You
will need to provide a copy of the
receipt, your vehicle registration and
any other relevant documents.
• Reimbursement will not be
considered if the vehicle does not
return to the United States.
D. If You Move:
If you move to another country, be sure
to contact the Customer Assistance
Center (
e Page 26) and the customs
department of the destination country
before you move. Vehicle importation
rules vary considerably from country to
country. You may also be required to
obtain documentation from the vehicle
warrantor in order to register your vehicle
in your new country.

Assistance:

submit your original receipts from the
licensed towing or service facility, for
services rendered within 30 days of the
occurrence. Be sure to include your
vehicle identification number, odometer
mileage at the time of service and
current mailing address. We will process
the claim based on vehicle and service
eligibility. If eligible, we will reimburse you
for the reasonable amounts you actually

where they were provided. The vehicle
distributor’s determination relating to
reimbursement are final. Correspondence

How to Get Warranty Service
Further Steps You Can Take and How
to Get More Information
If you think your authorized Sprinter
Dealer has wrongly denied you emission-
warranty coverage, follow the steps
described on (
e Page 25). The vehicle
warrantor will reply to you in writing within
30 days after receiving your complaint
(or within the time limit required by local
or state law). If the owner is not notified
within 30 days that a performance
warranty claim is denied, the vehicle
warrantor must repair the vehicle free of
charge.
If you want more information about
getting service under the Federal
Emission Warranty, or if you want to
report what you think is a violation of
these warranties, you can contact:

Washington, D. C. 20460 Getting Service Under the California
Emission Warranty
A. What to Do If You Fail a Smog Check
If a vehicle fails a state Smog Check test
during the coverage period, the vehicle
warrantor will repair the vehicle so that
it will pass a State Smog Check re-
test. The owner should take the vehicle
to any authorized Sprinter Dealer for
warranty repairs and give a copy of the
failed Smog Check test report to the
authorized Sprinter Dealer. If the owner
is not notified within 30 days that a
performance warranty claim is denied,
the vehicle warrantor must repair the
vehicle free of charge.
B. What to Do to Get Warranty Service
To get warranty service - even if you’re
traveling - take your vehicle to any
authorized Sprinter Dealer. (The vehicle
warrantor recommends that you take your
vehicle to an authorized Sprinter Dealer
who sells the same make of vehicle as
yours.) That authorized Sprinter Dealer
will perform any warranty service without
charging you for diagnosis, parts or labor.

C. Emergency Emission Warranty
Service
If you need emergency service under
this limited warranty and an authorized
Sprinter Dealer is not readily available,
you may have your vehicle repaired
by anyone using any brand of repair
parts. However, the vehicle warrantor
recommends that you do the following
before having repairs made:
• Contact the Customer Assistance
Center and ask for help with
emission warranty service. You’ll find
the address and telephone number
of the Customer Assistance Center
on (
e Page 26).
• The Customer Assistance Center will
recommend an authorized servicing
Sprinter Dealer or help you find
a qualified independent servicing
dealer.
• If you are going to have to use
an independent servicing dealer,
make arrangements during your
first contact with the Customer
Assistance Center for getting
reimbursed for emergency repairs
(including labor and diagnosis).
You will need to get and keep the
replaced parts, as well as the original
invoice marked “paid”.
• You should review with the Customer
Assistance Center any questions you
have about the emission warranty. Reimbursement for parts will be based
on the parts distributor’s suggested
retail price. Reimbursement for labor
will be based on the vehicle warrantor’s
recommended time allowance for the
repair and on the appropriate hourly labor
rate in the geographic area where you
had the work done.
Before the vehicle warrantor will
reimburse you for emergency repairs
under this warranty, you will have to
provide the vehicle warrantor with details
on why the situation was an emergency
and why authorized Sprinter Dealer
service was unavailable. Under this
warranty, an emergency occurs if a part
will not be available within 30 days or if
a repair cannot be completed within 30
days.

How to Deal with Warranty Problems
Steps to Take
A. In General
Normally, warranty problems can be
resolved by your authorized Sprinter
Dealer’s sales or service departments.
That’s why you should always talk
to your authorized Sprinter Dealer’s
service manager or sales manager first.
But if you’re not satisfied with your
authorized Sprinter Dealer’s response
to your problem, the vehicle warrantor
recommends that you do the following:
Step 1: Discuss your problem with
the owner or general manager of the
dealership.
Step 2: If your dealership still cannot
resolve the problem, contact the
Customer Assistance Center. You’ll find
the address on (
e Page 26).
B. What The Vehicle Warrantor Will Do
Once you have followed the two steps
described on (
e Page 25) (A), the
vehicle warrantor will review your
situation. If it’s something that the vehicle
warrantor can help you with, the vehicle
warrantor will provide your authorized
Sprinter Dealer with the information
and assistance necessary to resolve the
problem. Even if the vehicle warrantor
cannot help you, the vehicle warrantor will
acknowledge your contact and explain its
position. C. If Your Problem Still Is Not
Resolved*
If you cannot resolve your warranty
problem after following the two steps
described on (
e Page 25) (A), and
you live in Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky or
Minnesota ONLY, you can contact the
Better Business Bureau AUTO LINE
® in
your area.
D. Notice Under State Lemon Laws
Some states have laws allowing you to
get a replacement vehicle or a refund of
the vehicle’s purchase price under certain
circumstances. These laws vary from
state to state. If your state law allows, the
vehicle warrantor requires that you first
notify us in writing of any service difficulty
that you may have experienced so that
we can have a chance to make any
needed repairs before you are eligible for
remedies provided by these laws.
In all other states, we ask that you give
us written notice of any service difficulty.
Send your written notice to the Customer
Assistance Center at the address on
(
e Page 26).
* For Customers Residing in Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky and
Minnesota ONLY: (NOTE: This Process is not available for residents
of other states).

Optional Service Contract
Optional service contracts available
through the vehicle distributor offer
valuable protection against repair costs
when these warranties do not apply.
They complement but do not replace
the warranty coverages outlined in this
booklet. Several plans may be available,
covering various time-and-mileage
periods. (Service contracts are not
available if you live in a U.S. possession
or territory.) Ask your authorized Sprinter
Dealer for details.

28Maintenance
General Information
It’s your responsibility to properly
maintain your new vehicle. Follow
the instructions contained in the
Maintenance Booklet. Regular, scheduled
maintenance is essential to trouble-free
operation. If there is a dispute between
you and the vehicle warrantor concerning
your maintenance of your vehicle, the
vehicle warrantor will require you to
provide proof that your vehicle was
properly maintained.
For your convenience, the vehicle’s
Maintenance Booklet contains a
confirmation section. It is included in the
Owner’s Literature Package. You should
use the maintenance confirmation pages
to keep track of scheduled maintenance,
either by routinely having the repairs
entered in the confirmation pages, or by
keeping receipts or other documentation
of work you’ve had done on your vehicle
in your Maintenance Booklet. Where to Go For Maintenance
The vehicle warrantor recommends that
you return to an authorized Sprinter
Dealer for all maintenance service
both during and after the warranty
periods. The dealership technicians are
specifically trained to proficiently perform
maintenance and repair procedures on
your vehicle.
Authorized Sprinter dealers will help
ensure that all your service needs are met
and that you’re completely satisfied. The
vehicle warrantor strongly recommends
you use Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts to
maintain your vehicle.
