GWARNING
The function of systems or components can
be affected by conversions or modifications
to the vehicle. They might not function prop-
erly anymore 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 vehi-
cle, 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 man-
ufacturers or dealers make modifications that
affect the final certification of the engine, the
vehicle or the equipment. This also applies to
the identification and documentation of modifi-
cations to the affected vehicle components.
You are responsible for certification and confir-
mation that:
Rall the applicable standards and regulations
that are affected by the vehicle modification
are met
Rthe modified vehicle fulfills the vehicle safety standards and emissions laws and regula-
tions
Rthe modifications or installation of accesso-
ries does not affect the safety of the vehicle
We are not responsible for the final certification,
product liability or warranty claims which result
from the modifications. This applies to:
Rthe modified components, assemblies or sys-
tems
Rany resulting noncompliance with any of the
emissions laws and regulations or the motor
vehicle safety standards
Rany 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 driv-
ing, is not permitted. Do not cover up the radi-
ator. Do not use thermal mats, insect protection
covers or anything similar.
Otherwise, the values of the diagnostic system
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 fitted
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 securing 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
!

ces, as well as control units and sensors for
these restraint systems, may be installed in
the following areas of your vehicle:

Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print. Country-specific variations are possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to systems and functions relevant to
safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (
Ypage 26).
Occupant safety
Restraint system introduction
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi-cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident.
Furthermore, the restraint system may also
reduce the forces exerted on the vehicle occu-
pants when an accident occurs.
The restraint system includes:
RSeat belt system
RAir bags
RChild restraint system
RChild seat securing systems
The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other. They can only offer
the intended level of protection if all vehicle
occupants:
Rare correctly wearing their seat belts.
(Ypage 41)
Radjust their seat and head restraint properly
(Ypage 72).
The driver is also responsible for ensuring that
the steering wheel has been correctly posi-
tioned. Observe the information relating to the
correct driver's seat position (
Ypage 72).
Always ensure the air bag can inflate properly if
deployed (
Ypage 43).
An air bag supplements a correctly fastened
seat belt. As an additional safety device, the air bag increases the level of protection for vehicle
occupants in the event of an accident. For exam-
ple, if the protection already provided by a cor-
rectly fastened seat belt will suffice, the air bags
are not deployed. Furthermore, only the air bags
that would increase the degree of protection
afforded to the vehicle occupants in the event of an accident are deployed. Seat belts and air
bags generally do not protect against objects
penetrating the vehicle from the outside.
Information on restraint system operation can
be found under "Triggering of Emergency Ten-
sioning Devices and air bags" (
Ypage 45).
See “Children in the vehicle” for information on children traveling with you as well as vehicle
restraint systems (
Ypage 47).
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Modifications to the restraint system, may
cause it to no longer work as intended. The
restraint system may then not perform its
intended protective function and may fail in an
accident or trigger unexpectedly, for example.
This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Never modify parts of the restraint system.
Never tamper with the wiring, the electronic
components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify an airbag system to
accommodate a person with disabilities, con-
tact an authorized Sprinter dealership for
details. USA only: contact our Customer
Assistance Center at 1‑ 877‑762‑8267 for
details.
Restraint system warning lamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and at
regular intervals while the engine is running.
Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in
good time.
The 6 restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out no later than a few sec-
onds after the vehicle is started. The compo-
nents of the restraint system are in operational
readiness.

Belt warning for drivers and front pas-
sengers
The 7 seat belt warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster is a reminder that all vehicle occu-
pants must wear their seat belts. It may light up
continuously or flash. In addition, there may be
a warning tone.
Regardless of whether the driver's seat belt has
already been fastened, the 7seat belt warn-
ing lamp lights up for 6 seconds after each time
the ignition is switched on. After the engine has
been started, it goes out once the driver has
fastened the seat belt.
If the driver's seat belt is not fastened after the
engine is started, an additional warning tone will
sound. This warning tone stops after a maximum
of six seconds or once the driver's seat belt is
fastened.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph (25 km/h)
and the driver's seat belt is not fastened, a
warning tone sounds again. The warning tone
sounds for 60 seconds or until the driver's seat
belt is fastened.
If the driver unfastens the seat belt while the
vehicle is in motion, the belt warning automati-
cally reactivates.
iFurther information on the 7seat belt
warning lamp; see "Warning and indicator lamps in the instrument cluster"
(
Ypage 203).
Air bags
Introduction
The air bag installation location is identified by
the label SRS/AIR BAG or AIR BAG.
An air bag supplements a correctly fastened
seat belt. However, it is not intended as a sub-
stitute for the seat belt. Air bags provide addi-
tional protection in the event of an accident.
Not all air bags are deployed in an accident. The
various air bag systems work independently of
each other (
Ypage 45).
There is, however, no system available today
that can completely rule out injury or death.
It is also not possible to rule out a risk of injury
caused by an air bag due to the high speed at
which the air bag must be deployed.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you do not sit in the correct seat position,
the air bag cannot protect as intended and
could even cause additional injury when
deployed. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
To avoid hazardous situations, always make
sure that all of the vehicle's occupants:
Rhave fastened their seat belts correctly,
including pregnant women
Rare sitting correctly and maintain the great-
est possible distance to the air bags
Rfollow the following instructions
Always make sure that there are no objects
between the air bag and the vehicle's occu-
pants.
RCorrectly adjust the seats before driving off.
Always make sure the seat backrests are
positioned as close to the vertical as possible.
The center of the head restraints should sup-
port the back of the head at about eye level.
RMove the driver's and front-passenger seat as
far back as possible. The driver's seat position
