listed here on the inside title page. Details can
be found in the Maintenance Booklet. Short journey
! If the vehicle is predominantly used for
short-distance driving, this could lead to a
malfunction in the automatic cleaning
function for the diesel particle filter. As a
result, fuel may accumulate in the engine
oil and cause engine failure.
Therefore, if you mainly drive short
distances, you should drive on a highway or
on rural roads for 20 minutes every
310 miles (50 0km). This ensures sufficient
regeneration of the diesel particle filter.
Therefore, if you mainl ydrive short distances,
drive on a freeway or an inter-urban road for
20 minutes every 300 miles (500 km). This
facilitates the diesel particl efilter's burn-off
process. Speed limiter
G
WARNING
Exceeding the stated tir eload-bearing
capacity and the approved maximum speed
could lead to tire damage or the tire bursting.
There is a risk of accident.
Therefore, only use tire types and sizes
approved for your vehicle model. Observe the
tire load rating and speed rating required for
your vehicle.
As the driver, you must find out about the
maximum speed of the vehicle and the
resulting permissible maximum speed of the
tires (tire and tire pressure). In particular, also
observe the tire approval regulations for each
country.
You must not exceed the speed limit for the
tires listed in the tire pressure tables. You can
find information on tire pressures in the
"Wheels and tires" section (Y page 278).You can permanently limit the maximum
speed of your vehicle to 75 mph (120 km/h).
We recommend that you use an authorized
Sprinter Dealer for the programming of the
maximum speed.
Before overtaking, take into consideration
that the engine speed limiter prevents the
speed increasing beyond the programmed
maximum speed. Driving abroad
Service An extensive network of authorized Sprinter
Dealers is also at your disposal when you are
traveling abroad. Nevertheless, please bear
in mind that service facilities or replacement
parts may not always be immediately
available. You can obtain
alist of workshops
at any authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Fuel In some countries, only fuels with a higher
sulfur conten
tare available.
Unsuitable fuel can cause engine damage.
You will find information on fuels in the
"Service products and capacities" section
(Y page 317).
Low-beam headlamps If you are traveling in countries where
vehicles are drive
nonthe opposite side of the
road to that in which the vehicle is registered,
you will need to:
R have the halogen headlamps partially
masked
R have the Bi-Xenon headlamps set to
symmetrical low beam
This prevents glare to oncoming traffic and no
longer illuminates the edge of the road to the
same height and distance.
Have the headlamps masked or adjusted at a
qualified specialist workshop before you Driving tips

Environmental note
Observe measures to protect the
environment when working on the vehicle. You must observe the legal requirements
when disposing of service products, e.g.
engine oil. This also includes all components,
e.g. filters, which have come into contac twith
service products. Any qualified specialist
workshop can provide information about this.
Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths
and care products in an environmentally
responsible manner. Comply with the
instructions for use of the care products.
Do not run the engine for longer than
necessary when the vehicle is stationary.
Before having maintenance and repairs
performed, it is essential to read the materials
related to the maintenance and repairs:
R the applicable sections of the technical
documentation, e.g. the Operator's Manual
and workshop information.
R regulations such as industrial safety
regulations and accident prevention
regulations.
While working under the vehicle, you must
secure the vehicle on jackstands with
sufficient load capacity.
Never use the jac kasas ubstitute .the
vehicle's jack is intended only to raise the
vehicle for a short time when changing a
wheel. It is not suited for performing
maintenance work under the vehicle.
Please also refer to the notes about qualified
specialist workshops (Y page 26).
The scope and regularity of the inspection
and maintenance work primarily depend on
the often diverse operating conditions.
Specialist knowledge beyond the scope of
this Operator's Manual is required when
carrying out testing and maintenance work.
This work should only be carried out by
trained staff.
The vehicle's Maintenance Booklet describes
the extenta nd frequency of the maintenance
work and contains additional informatio non
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and on the
service products. 248
MaintenanceMaintenance and care

!
Refuel only using diesel fuel that
conforms to European standard EN 590 or
an equivalent specification. Fuel that does
not conform to EN 590 can lead to
increased wear and damage the engine and
exhaust system.
! Do not use the following:
R Marine diesel
R Heating oil
R Bio-diesel
R Vegetable oil
R Gasoline
R Paraffin
R Kerosene
Do not mix such fuels with diesel fuel and
do not use any special additives. This can
otherwise lead to engine damage.T his
does not include flow improver additives.
For further information, see "Flow
improvers".
! Filter the fuel before transferring it to the
vehicle if you are refueling the vehicle from
barrels or containers.
This will prevent malfunctions in the fuel
system due to contaminated fuel.
! Vehicles with adiesel particle filter: in
countries outside the EU, only refuel with
low-sulfur Euro diesel with a sulfur content
under 50 ppm; otherwise the emission
control syste mcould be damaged.
! Vehicles without adiesel particle
filter: in countries where only diesel fuel
with a high sulfur conten tis available, you
will need to carry out your vehicle's oil
change at shorter intervals. Further
information on oil change intervals can be
obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.
You will generally find information aboutt he
fuel grade on the filling pump. If there is no
identification on the filling pump, consult a
gas station attendant.
For more information about refueling
(Y page 142). i
You can obtain information about
modification options for operation with
alternative fuels (bio-diesel fuels) from any
authorized Mercedes-Ben zCenter.
Diesel at very low outside temperatures G
WARNING
If you heat fuel system components, e.g. with
a hot-air gun or open flame, these
components could be damaged. This can
cause fuel to escape and ignite. Depending on
the type of damage, fuel may also not escape
until the engine is running. There is a risk of
fire and explosion.
Never heat fuel system components. Contact
a qualified specialist workshop to rectify the
malfunction.
Refill only with commercially available
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL (ULSD,
maximum sulfur content 15 ppm), which
fulfills the ASTM D975s tandard.
At very low outside temperatures, paraffin
may separate fro mthe diesel fuel resulting in
inadequate flow characteristics.
To prevent operating problems, diesel with
better flow qualities is available during the
winter months. You can obtain information at
the gas station or from your fuel supplier.
Your vehicle is equipped with afuel
preheating system. This improves the flow
properties of the diesel by approximately
46 ‡(8 †). ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL can
be used without risk of malfunction dow nto
an outside temperature of approximately
14 ‡ (002710 †).
Fuel additives
! Do no tuse any fuel additives except a
flow improver. Fuel additives can cause
malfunctions and engine damage.
! Do not add gasoline or kerosene to diesel
fuel to improve its flow characteristics.
Gasoline or kerosene impairs the
lubricating properties of the diesel fuel. 318

General notes !
The bottles of the various engine oil types
are marked with ACEA (Association des
Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles)
and/or API (American Petroleum Institute)
classifications. Only use approved engine
oils that conform to the following MB Specifications for Service Products and the
prescribed ACEA and/or API
classifications. Using engine oils of another
quality is not permitted and may invalidate
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
The use of other, non-approved engine oils
for diesel engines can cause damage to the
diesel particle filter (DPF).
Use only engine oils that have been approved
for your vehicle according to the MB
Specifications for Service Products.
The MB Specifications for Service Products
are valid for your vehicle 15

These are high quality engine oils which have
a positive effect on:
R engine wear
R fuel consumption
R exhaust gas emissions.
Multi-grade engine oils of the prescribed SAE
class (viscosity) may be used all year round,
taking the outside temperatures into
account.
Engine oil viscosity !
If the SAE viscosity class of the engine oil
used does not cover the outside
temperature range in which you are
operating the vehicle, it must be changed
in good time, in particular before the cold
season commences. Using an engine oil
that does not have adequate temperature
characteristics can lead to engine damage.
The temperature range information of the
SAE classification always refers to that of
fresh oil. The temperature characteristics
of the engine oil may deteriorate

Oil consumption may be higher if:
R the vehicle is new.
R you mainly operate the vehicle under
arduous operating conditions.
R you frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Regula rmaintenance is one of the
preconditions for moderate rates of
consumption.
You can only estimate th eoil consumption
after you have drive naconsiderable distance.
