ment cluster and / or the display is malfunc-
tioning.
You will not then be able to see information
about the vehicle status, such as speed and
outside temperature, warning and indicator
lamps, malfunction and warning messages
or the malfunction of systems. Handling

Contact a qualified specialist workshop im-
mediately which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you use
an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Only use adjustment buttons , , ,
or when traffic conditions permit.
You will otherwise be unable to observe road
and traffic conditions and could cause an ac-
cident.
Do not reach through the steering wheel to
press the adjustment buttons. This will
make the steering wheel much more difficult
to control. Your attention will also be divert-
ed from the road and traffic conditions. This
could cause you to lose control of the vehi-
cle and could lead to an accident.
Do not rest your head or chest on the steer-
ing wheel or dashboard when operating the
adjustment buttons. See the safety precau-
tions for airbags (\2page 31).Instrument lightingiVehicles with automatic headlamp

crease your vehicle’s fuel consumption un-
necessarily and damage the environment
through increased pollutant emissions.SpeedometeriIn some countries, a signal sounds

(120 km/h).
