Protecting the environment
Natural resources form the basis of our
existence
on this planet. The objectives of our
policy are for these resources to be used
sparingly and in a manner which takes the
requirements of both nature and humanity
into account.
Our declared policy is integrated
environmental protection. This policy starts
at the root causes and encompasses in its
management decisions all the consequences
for the environment which could arise from
production processes or the products
themselves.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your Sprinter in an
environmentally responsible manner. Fuel consumption and the wear of your
engine, brakes and tires are largely
dependent on operating conditions and your
individual driving style. To reduce fuel
consumption and wear, note the following:
R
avoid short trips.
R always ensure that the tire pressure is
correct.
R avoid frequent and abrupt acceleration.
R avoid carrying unnecessary ballast.
R remove ski attachments and roof racks if
they are no longer being used.
R do not warm up the engine when the
vehicle is stationary.
R shift
gears such that each gear is used only
up to 2
/ 3 of its maximum engine speed.
R monitor the fuel consumption.
A regularly serviced vehicle will also help
protect the environment. Observe the
maintenance intervals indicated by the
ASSYST service interval display, as well as
any other maintenance work that is described
in this booklet. 2
