Owners Manual

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 possible. 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: (Y page 19).
Genuine Sprinter parts
We test genuine parts, conversion parts and
accessories that have been specifically
approved for your type of vehicle for:
R
reliability
R
safety
R
suitability
Despite ongoing market research, we are
unable to assess other parts. We therefore
accept no responsibility for the use of such
parts in a Sprinter, even if they have been
independently or officially approved.
In some countries, certain parts are only
officially approved for installation or
modification if they comply with legal
requirements. All genuine Sprinter parts
satisfy these requirements. Make sure that
any replacement parts are suitable for your
vehicle.
The use of non-approved parts could affect
your vehicle's operating safety. Therefore, we
recommend genuine Sprinter parts and
conversion parts and accessories which have
been authorized for your type of vehicle.
%Environmental note
We supply reconditioned assemblies and
parts which are of the same quality as new
parts. The same New Vehicle Limited
Warranty applies as for new parts.
Genuine Sprinter parts, as well as specifically
approved conversion parts and accessories,
can be obtained at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer. Here you will receive advice about
permissible technical modifications, and the
parts will be professionally installed.
Always provide the vehicle's identification
number and the engine number when
ordering genuine Sprinter parts. The numbers
can be found on the vehicle identification
plate of your vehicle (Y page 285).

WARNING
For safety reasons, have all work on engine
electronics and the relevant parts carried out
only at a qualified specialist workshop. The
vehicle's operating safety may otherwise be
jeopardized.
!
Only have engine electronics and the
corresponding parts, such as control units,
sensors or connector leads, serviced in a
qualified specialist workshop. Otherwise,
the vehicle parts may wear more quickly.
This can lead to loss of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Retrofitting electrical or electronic
equipment
Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effect on both the comfort and
the operating safety of the vehicle. If
equipment of this kind is retrofitted, its
electromagnetic compatibility must be
checked and verified.
If these devices are linked to functions
associated with resistance to interference,
they must have type approval. This applies to
the device or its interfaces to the vehicle
electronics, e.g. charging brackets.
