2012 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER technical data

vehicle's registration papers and on the type
plate of
the
trailer coupling, the trailer and the
vehicle identification plate ( Y page 277). In
the event that the data stated differs, the
lower value applies.
Make sure that you adhere to the weight
restrictions by having the weight checked at
a public weighbridge.
! The permissible gross combination
weight is less than the sum of the
permissible gross vehicle weight plus the
permissible trailer load. Exceeding the
permissible gross combination weight can
lead to damage to the drivetrain, to the
transmission or to the trailer tow hitch.
For this reason, applicable values for the
permissible gross vehicle weight or the
permissible trailer load are reduced
accordingly if either the vehicle or the
trailer is fully loaded. In this case, the trailer
or the vehicle may only be partially loaded. Operating data
