Introduction
Your vehicle may have some or all of the
equipment described in this manual. There-
fore, you may find explanations for optional
equipment not installed in your vehicle. If you
have any questions about operating particu-
lar equipment, any authorized Sprinter Deal-
er will be glad to demonstrate the proper
procedures.
Optional equipment is also described in this
manual, including operating instructions
wherever necessary. Since they are special-
order items, the descriptions and illustra-
tions herein may vary slightly from the actual
equipment of your vehicle.
If there are any equipment details that are
not shown or described in this Operator’s
Manual, any authorized Sprinter Dealer will
be glad to inform you of correct care and op-
erating procedures. The Operator’s Manual is
an important document and should be kept
with the vehicle.
Operator’s Manual
Operating safety
$
Risk of accident
Always focus your attention on the traffic
conditions. Only operate Sound 5 if traffic
conditions permit you to do so. Operating
Sound 5 while driving will distract you from
the traffic situation and as a result you may
lose control of your vehicle, thereby causing
an accident.
Remember that even at a speed of 30 mph
(50 km / h), your vehicle covers a distance of
almost 44 feet (14 m) every second.
$ Risk of injury
The CD drive is a class 1 laser product. There
is a risk of exposure to invisible laser radia-
tion if you open the casing or if the casing is
faulty or damaged.
Do not open the casing. The unit contains no
parts on which you can carry out mainte-
nance. For safety reasons, have any neces-
sary maintenance work carried out by
qualified aftersales technicians only.
$ Risk of accident and injury
Always have work on the vehicle carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. In particu-
lar, work relevant to safety or work on safety-
related systems as well as maintenance work
must be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work re-
quired.
We recommend that you use an authorized
Sprinter Dealer for this purpose.
$ Risk of accident
If work on electronic equipment or systems
(e.g. radio or CD drive) and/or software is
carried out incorrectly, this or other equip-
ment could stop functioning since the elec-
tronic systems are networked via interfaces.
Tampering with electronic systems could
cause malfunctions in systems which have
not been modified. Such malfunctions can se-
riously compromise the vehicle's operating
safety and your own safety as well.
We recommend that you have any service
work on electronic components carried out at
an authorized Sprinter Dealer.

ume when switched off, it may be quieter

time.
