If you intend on making any alterations to the
vehicle, we strongly recommend that you
contact the distributor named on the inside
of the front cover in order to obtain all
necessary information (there may be a
charge).
Body builders and dealers who make any
modifications which may affect the final
certification of the engine, vehicle or
equipment assume
the
sole responsibility for
the vehicle, including labeling and
documentation, affected by their
modifications.
It is their responsibility to certify that the
altered vehicle conforms to all applicable
standards and regulations affected by the
vehicle alteration or continues to comply with
the motor vehicle safety standards and
emissions regulations.
They are responsible for ensuring that
modifications or equipment installation do
not affect the safety of the vehicle. G
Warning
Any modifications or alterations of the
Sprinter not in compliance with the Sprinter
Body Builder Guideline and the Sprinter
Operator's Manual may seriously inhibit its
roadworthiness and safety

and may lead to an
accident resulting in serious injury or death.
Consult the Sprinter Body Builder Guideline
and the Sprinter Operator's Manual prior to
initiating any alterations or modifications.
We are not responsible for any final
certification or claims regarding product
liability, or warranty claims, which result from
any component, assembly, or system being
altered, or which cause non-compliance with
any of the emission control standards or
motor vehicle safety standards, or which
would otherwise cause the vehicle to be or to
become defective or unsafe.
We do not assume responsibility as the final-
stage manufacturer or the consequential
product liability. Correct use

Vehicles with steering-wheel buttons:
Corresponding messages may also be
shown in display 0073(Y page 24). Instrument cluster variants
25At a glance

The display in the instrument cluster is
activated when you:
R
open the driver's door
R turn the key
to position 2 in the ignition lock
R press the 0048 reset button
R switch on the lights
The display switches off automatically after
approximately 30 seconds if:
R the vehicle lighting is not switched on.
R the key is in position 0 in the ignition lock.G
Warning
No messages can be displayed if the
instrument cluster and/or the display fails.
You will then not be able to see information
about the vehicle status, such as speed and
outside temperature, warning/indicator
lamps and display messages or the failure of
systems. Handling characteristics may be
affected. Adapt your speed and driving style
accordingly.
Immediately consult a qualified specialist
workshop. The qualified specialist workshop
must have the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. We recommend an authorized
Sprinter Dealer for

this purpose. In particular,
all work relevant to safety or on safety-related
systems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop. G
Warning
Only use the adjustment buttons on the
instrument cluster when

the traffic conditions
permit. You would otherwise be too distracted
and could cause an accident.
Do not reach through the steering wheel to
operate the adjustment buttons. The
movement of the steering wheel would be
significantly impeded. Your attention would
also be diverted from road and traffic
conditions. This could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle, and lead to an accident. Do not rest your head or chest on the steering
wheel or dashboard when operating the
adjustment buttons.
You will find page references for further
information in the index under "Air bag".
Speedometer
i In some countries, a warning sounds
when the vehicle reaches the maximum
speed limit, e.g. at 75 mph (120 km/h).
The speed can also be shown in the display.
You can find information on the digital
speedometer for vehicles without steering
wheel buttons under ( Y page 73) and for
vehicles with steering wheel buttons under
(Y page 77). Tachometer
The red band

in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
To protect the engine, the fuel supply is
interrupted when the red band is reached.
! Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine.
0040Environmental information
Avoid driving at high engine revs. This driving
style causes an unnecessary increase in
vehicle fuel consumption and, therefore,
damage to the

environment due to increased
emission of pollution. Instrument cluster
