Introduction
\3 Environmental protectionEnvironmental note
H
Chrysler’s declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.The objectives are for the natural resourc-
es 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 ac-
count.You too can contribute to environmental
protection by operating your vehicle in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and engine, transmis-
sion, brake and tire wear depend on the
two following 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
increases fuel consumption.
\4Make sure that the tire pressures are
always 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 long-
er need them.
\4A regularly serviced vehicle will con-
tribute to environmental protection.
You should therefore adhere to the
specified service intervals.
\4Always have maintenance work car-
ried out at an authorized Sprinter
Dealer.

The red band in the tachometer indi-
cates the engine’s overrevving range.
To protect the engine, the fuel supply is
interrupted when the red band is
reached.Tachometer!
CAUTION

range. Doing so could damage the
engine.
Environmental note
H
Avoid high engine speeds. These could in-
crease your vehicle’s fuel consumption
unnecessarily and damage the environ-
ment through increased pollutant emis-
sions.SpeedometeriIn some countries, a signal sounds
when the vehicle reaches the maxi-
mum speed limit, e.g. at 75 mph
(120 km/h).
