Operating safety
The manufacturer warrants to the origi-
nal 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 regu-
lations adopted by the Federal Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency, and
(2) the emission control system of such
engine is free from defects in materi-
als and workmanship which would
cause it not to conform with those
regulations for a period of use of five years or 100000 miles (160000 km)
or 3000 hours of engine operation,
whichever occurs first.
The Owner’s Warranty Information Book
contains detailed information about the
warranties covering your Sprinter Vehi-
cle.
The manufacturer may instruct its au-
thorized 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 vehi-
cle has not yet been inspected at an au-thorized Sprinter Dealer, there is a
possibility that your vehicle has not been
registered in your name with the manu-
facturer. The manufacturer will only be
able to inform you about vehicle inspec-
tions if the manufacturer is in posses-
sion of your registration data.
It is advisable to have your vehicle regis-
tered at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.

Child restraint systemsWe recommend all infants and children
be properly restrained at all times while
the vehicle is in motion.
All lap-shoulder belts except the driver’s
seat belt have special seat belt retrac-
tors for secure fastening of child re-
straints.To fasten a child restraint, follow child
restraint instructions for mounting. Then
pull the shoulder belt out completely
and let it retract. During seat belt retrac-
tion, a ratcheting sound can be heard to
indicate that the special seat belt retrac-
tor is activated. The belt is now locked.
Push down on child restraint to take up
any slack.

Warning (Continued)
G
A child must never be carried sitting on
the lap of a vehicle occupant. It would not
be possible to restrain the child as a result
of the forces acting in the event of an ac-
cident, braking or abrupt changes in di-
rection. The child would be thrown
against parts of the vehicle interior and be
seriously or fatally injured.Vehicle occupants must wear their seat
belt correctly at all times.
Warning
G
If the child restraint system is not in-
stalled correctly on a suitable vehicle
seat, the child may not be restrained in
the event of an accident or sudden brak-
ing and may be seriously or fatally injured.
For this reason, always observe the instal-
lation instructions issued by the child re-
straint system manufacturer and the
intended use for the child restraint sys-
tem when fitting it.It is advisable to install the child restraint
system on one of the rear seats. The child
is generally better protected there.
Continued
Warning (Continued)
G
Do not place objects (for example a cush-
ion) underneath the child restraint sys-
tem. The entire base of the child restraint
system must be in contact with the seat
cushion at all times.Child restraint systems must not be used
without the original cover. Replace dam-
aged covers only with original covers.On the rear seats, only use child restraint
systems recommended by the manufac-
turer.
