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
