2011 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER technical specifications

A navigation system does not supply
information on the load-bearing capacity of
bridges or the overhead clearance of
underpasses.
The driver remains responsible for the safety
of the vehicle at all times.
Observe legal requirements.
Telephones, two-way
radios
and fax machines
without an exterior antenna could interfere
with the vehicle electronics and thus
compromise the operational safety of the
vehicle. There is an increased risk of accident.
Do not use this equipment while the vehicle
is in motion.
Failure to observe the Sprinter installation
specifications can result in the invalidation of
your vehicle's operating permit.
You will find information on retrofitting
electrical or electronic equipment in the
"Technical data" section ( Y page 277).Telephone
G
Warning
A driver's attention to the road must always
be his/her primary focus when driving. For
your safety and the safety of others, we
recommend that you pull over to a safe
location and stop before placing or taking a
telephone call. If you choose to use the
telephone while driving,

please use the hands-
free device and only use the telephone when
weather, road and traffic conditions permit.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h ), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second. G
Warning
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
constitute a health hazard to yourself and
others. Use of an exterior antenna gives consideration to scientific discussion
surrounding the
possible

health risk posed by
electromagnetic fields.
The exterior antenna should only be installed
at a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. We
recommend that you use an authorized
Sprinter Dealer for this purpose. In particular,
work relevant to safety or on safety-related
systems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
We recommend the use of an approved
exterior antenna for operating the mobile
phone. Only in this way can optimal mobile
phone reception quality in the vehicle be
ensured and mutual interference between the
vehicle electronics and mobile phones
minimized.
Observe the legal requirements for each
individual country.
The mobile phone fitting includes a hands-
free system integrated into the vehicle. The
microphone for the hands-free system is
installed in the overhead control panel or in
the overhead stowage compartment together
with the front interior light.
In order to use the hands-free system, you will
need a special bracket. The Sprinter range of
accessories includes brackets for various
mobile phone models.
i Mobile phone brackets which are
available from various manufacturers on
the open market are not compatible with
the Sprinter telephone system. You can
recognize suitable phone brackets for your
mobile, by the printed star and the B6 in the
part number on the rear of the phone
bracket.
Detailed instructions for use can be found in
the operating instructions for the mobile
phone bracket and in the separate operating
instructions for the mobile phone fittings.

for example an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Otherwise, the vehicle parts may wear out
more quickly. This can invalidate the
general operating
permit
and the insurance
cover, and lead to the loss of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. Retrofitting electrical or electronic
equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment can
jeopardize the operational safety of the
vehicle. If equipment

of this kind is retrofitted,
it must be type-approved and bear the e
mark. The e mark may be obtained from the
equipment manufacturer or an authorized
testing center.
! Damage or consequential damage arising
from installing equipment that is not
approved for Sprinters is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
If you wish to install telephones or two-way
radios in the vehicle, you must obtain formal
approval.
For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, We recommend connection to an
approved exterior antenna. This is the only
way to ensure optimum reception quality
inside the vehicle and to minimize mutual
interference between the vehicle electronics,
mobile phones and two-way radios. G
