\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.

You may retrofit telephones and two-
way radios provided that the maximum
transmission outputs listed below are
not exceeded. Always have this type of
equipment professionally installed with
an exterior antenna which has been in-
stalled in such a way as to be reflection-
free.

INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING
EQUIPMENT
Special design considerations are incorporated into this
vehicle's electronic system to provide immunity to radio
frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone
equipment must be installed properly by trained person-
nel. The following must be observed during installation.
The positive power connection should be made directly
to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible.
The negative power connection should be made to body
sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection.
This connection should not be fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the
roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used
in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may
affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on
vehicles so equipped.The antenna cable should be as short as practical and
routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use
only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to
ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than
normal may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible interfer-
ence between the communications equipment and the
vehicle's electronic systems.
