\3 Genuine Sprinter Vehicle parts The “Technical data” section contains
important technical data regarding your
vehicle.
You will find other vehicle-specific and
equipment-dependent technical data,
such as:\4
engine power output data
\4
speeds
\4
vehicle dimensions
\4
vehicle weights
in your vehicle documents.Make sure that spare parts are suitable
for your vehicle. Parts that constitute a
modification to the vehicle by:
\4
changing the type of vehicle ap-
proved in the general operating per-
mit,
\4
creating a risk to road users or
\4
having an adverse effect on the vehi-
cle’s emissions and noise levels,
will in many countries invalidate the gen-
eral operating permit. The use of non-
approved parts could have a detrimental
effect on road safety.Every authorized Sprinter Dealer main-
tains a stock of genuine Sprinter vehicle
parts for maintenance and repair work.
Over 6000 retailers around the world
guarantee that you can be supplied with
genuine Sprinter vehicle parts wherever
you are. Over 300,000 different parts
and assemblies, including parts for older
vehicle models, are distributed from a
central parts warehouse using an opti-
mally tuned logistics concept.

601 *Technical data
Genuine Sprinter Vehicle parts
6
Genuine Sprinter vehicle parts are sub-
jected to the most stringent quality in-
spections and will ensure that the
vehicle is maintained at a high level of
operating efficiency and safety, and that
it maintains its value. Each part has been
specifically designed and manufactured
or selected and approved for use in
Sprinter vehicles.
It is therefore best to use only genuine
Sprinter vehicle parts.For cost-effective repairs in accordance
with sound recycling principles, the use
of non-genuine parts and accessories
not authorized by the manufacturer
could damage the vehicle or compro-
mise its durability or safety. You can obtain further information about
approved conversion parts and accesso-
ries and permitted technical modificati-
ons from your authorized Sprinter
Dealer. Always quote the vehicle identi-
fication number and the engine number
when ordering genuine parts. You will
find these numbers on your vehicle’s
identification labels (
\2
page 632) and
also on the vehicle data card for certain
vehicles.
Environmental note
H
The manufacturer also supplies recondi-
tioned assemblies and parts for cost-ef-
fective repairs in accordance with
recycling principles. These parts have the
same quality and warranty as new parts.

\3 Vehicle electronics
Electrical and electronic equipment can
jeopardize the operational safety of your
vehicle. If equipment of this kind is ret-
rofitted, it must be type-approved and
must bear the
e mark.
If you wish to install telephones or two-
way radios in the vehicle, you must ob-
tain formal approval.
The manufacturer recommends that you
consult an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Tampering with the engine elec-
tronics !Work on the engine electronics and
all associated parts such as control
units, sensors and connector leads
should only be performed at an au-
thorized Sprinter Dealer. Vehicle
parts could otherwise wear more
quickly and the vehicle’s warranty or
general operating permit could be in-
validated.
Warning
G
For safety reasons and to avoid invalidat-
ing the general operating permit, always
have work on the engine electronics and
associated parts performed at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer which has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you
use an authorized 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.

It is neither necessary nor permissible to
mix special additives with approved ser-
vice products (except for approved fuel
additives). Therefore, special additives
must not be mixed with fuels or lubri-
cants. The properties of the service
products could be adversely affected by
special additives and result in damage to
the assemblies.The vehicle operator is responsible at all
times for any use of special additives.
The use of special additives may result in
a limitation or an invalidation of your
warranty entitlement.
