3 Introduction
\3 Environmental protection
In this manual, whenever you see instruc-
tions to discard materials, you should first
attempt to reclaim and recycle them. To
preserve our environment, follow appropri-
ate environmental rules and regulations
when disposing of materials.
Environmental note
H
DaimlerChrysler’s declared policy is one of
comprehensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
which form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in a manner
which takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
You too can contribute to environmental
protection by operating your vehicle in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and engine, transmission,
brake and tire wear depend on the two fol-
lowing factors:
\4Operating conditions of your vehicle
\4Your personal driving style
You can influence both factors.
Observe the following notes:
Operating conditions
\4Avoid driving short distances as this in-
creases fuel consumption.
\4Make sure that the tire pressures are al-
ways correct.
\4Do not carry any unnecessary weight
in / on the vehicle.
\4Keep an eye on the vehicle’s fuel con-
sumption.
\4Remove roof racks once you no longer
need them.
\4A regularly serviced vehicle will contrib-
ute to environmental protection. You
should therefore adhere to the specified
service intervals.
\4Always have maintenance work carried
out at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Personal driving style
\4Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
\4Do not warm up the engine when the ve-
hicle is stationary.
\4Adopt an anticipatory style of driving
and keep a sufficient distance from oth-
er vehicles.
\4Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration.
\4Switch off the engine in stationary traf-
fic.

5 Introduction
Operating safety
The manufacturer warrants to the original
and each subsequent owner of a
Mercedes-Benz heavy-duty on highway
diesel engine that:
(1) the engine was designed, built and
equipped so as to conform at the time
of sale with the applicable regulations
adopted by the Federal Environmental
Protection Agency, and
(2) the emission control system of such
engine is free from defects in materials
and workmanship which would cause it
not to conform with those regulations
for a period of use of five years or
100000 miles or 3000 hours of engine
operation, whichever occurs first.
The Owner’s Warranty Information Book
contains detailed information about the
warranties covering your Sprinter.The manufacturer may instruct its autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer to carry out technical
inspections on certain vehicles to improve
their quality or safety.
If you did not purchase your vehicle from
an authorized dealership and your vehicle
has not yet been inspected at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer, there is a possibility
that your vehicle has not been registered in
your name with the manufacturer. The
manufacturer will only be able to inform
you about vehicle inspections if the manu-
facturer is in possession of your registra-
tion data.
It is advisable to have your vehicle regis-
tered at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Inform the manufacturer as soon as possi-
ble if your address has changed or there
has been a change of vehicle owner.
Warning
G
A heavy impact to the underbody, tires or
wheels, for example when bottoming out on
rough terrain or driving over an obstacle at
high speed, could damage your vehicle. This
also applies to vehicles equipped with un-
derbody protection.
In this case, have your vehicle checked at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer which has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required. The manufac-
turer recommends that you use an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer for this purpose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
\3 REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
In the 50 United States and Washington D.C.: If you believe that your vehicle has a defect, which could cause a crash or cause injury
or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying the man-
ufacturer.
If the NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles,
it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer,
and the manufacturer.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll free at 1–888–327–4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153),
or go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington DC 20590. You can also
obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
http://www.NHTSA.gov.
In Canada:
If you believe that your vehicle has a safety defect, you should contact the Customer Service Department immediately.
Canadian customers who wish to report a safety defect to the Canadian government should write to
Transport Canada, Motor Vehicle Defect Investigations and Recalls, 2780 Sheffield Road, Ottawa, Ontario K1B 3V9.

83 Controls in detail
Lighting
3
Load compartment motion detector*
On panel vans equipped with a motion de-
tector in the load compartment, the rear
interior lighting may also switch on if mo-
tion is detected.The rear interior lighting can be switched
on by the motion detector with a delay of
no more than 4 seconds if:
\4the switch on the rear interior lamp
(\2page 82) is set to “automatic con-
trol”
\4the vehicle is stationary, the handbrake
is applied and the service brake is not
applied
or
\4the selector lever is in position P and
the service brake is not applied
\4the vehicle has not been locked from
the outside using the key
iThe rear interior lamps switch off auto-
matically after 20 minutes, even if the
switches on the rear interior lamps
(\2page 82) are in the On position 1.
If you wish to reactivate the rear interi-
or lamps, you must:
\4open a door
\4switch on the ignition again
\4set the rear interior lighting master
control switch to position2 again.
Warning
G
Motion detectors work with invisible infra-
red beams emitted by LEDs (Light Emitting
Diodes).
Do not view invisible infrared radiation, laser
class 1M, directly using optical instruments.
Your eyes could otherwise be injured.iIf the motion detector detects move-
ment in the load compartment when
the vehicle is stationary, the rear interi-
or lighting switches on for approxi-
mately 2 minutes. If new movements
are detected, the duration resumes
from the beginning and the rear interior
lighting remains switched on.
iThe motion detector switches off auto-
matically if no change is detected in the
vehicle for several hours, e.g. door
opened, ignition key turned, etc.
This prevents the battery from dis-
charging.

There may be a short delay before a lower
outside temperature is displayed, for ex-
ample after leaving a garage. There may
also be a short delay before a rise in the
outside temperature is displayed. This
prevents you from seeing a temperature
display influenced by heat from the engine
when the vehicle is stationary or moving
slowly.
