WARNING
Brake fluid is hazardous to health. Do not
swallow brake fluid. See a doctor immediately
if you swallow brake fluid.
Make sure that brake fluid does not come into
contact with skin, clothing or eyes. Rinse
affected areas with plenty of clean water and
consult a doctor if necessary.
Always wear gloves and eye protection when
topping up brake fluid.
Store brake fluid only in the original closed
container and keep it out of the reach of chil-
dren. Comply with safety regulations when
handling brake fluid. G
WARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
! Brake fluid corrodes paint, plastic and
rubber. If paint, plastic or rubber has come
into contact with brake fluid, rinse with
water immediately.
Only use brake fluids approved for Sprinter
vehicles. Always check for the identification
DOT 4 plus.
Information about approved brake fluids can
be found in the Maintenance Booklet or
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop. 328

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
! Take care not to spill any coolant on
painted surfaces. You could otherwise
damage the paintwork.
When handling, storing and disposing of cool-
ant and antifreeze, please observe the rele-
vant regulations and the safety notes in the
"Service products and capacities" section
(Y page 320). Coolant additive with corrosion/anti-
freeze protection !
Use only approved antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor that complies with MB Specifica-
tion for Service Products, Sheet Number
325. Using other, non-approved anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitors may cause
damage to the coolant system and reduce
the engine's service life.
Coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor. It performs the following
tasks:
R corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raises the boiling point
When the vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with a coolant mixture that ensures adequate
antifreeze and corrosion protection. Coolant
must be used in the system all year round to
ensure anti-corrosion protection and a raised
boiling point – even in countries with high
outside temperatures.
To prevent damage to the engine cooling sys-
tem, use only approved corrosion inhibitor/
antifreeze that comply with the Mercedes-
Benz Specifications for Service Products. You
will find information about approved corro-
sion inhibitor/antifreeze for your vehicle in
the Maintenance Booklet.
We recommend corrosion inhibitor/anti-
freeze that meets the requirements in MB
Specifications for Service Products Sheet
Number 325.
Check the antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor con-
centration in the coolant every six months.
The percentage of corrosion inhibitor/anti-
freeze additive in the engine cooling system
should:
R be at least 50%. This way, the engine cool-
ing system is protected against freezing
down to approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Otherwise, heat
will not be dissipated as effectively. Service products and capacities

General notes
The following section contains important
technical data for your vehicle. Your vehicle
registration documents contain vehicle-spe-
cific and equipment-dependent technical
data such as vehicle dimensions and vehicle
weights. Cargo tie-down points and carrier sys-
tems
Cargo tie-down points General notes
!
Observe the information on the maximum
loading capacity of the individual cargo tie-
down points.
If you use several cargo tie-down points to
secure a load, you must always take the
maximum loading capacity of the weakest
cargo tie-down point into account.
If you brake hard, for example, the forces
acting could be up to several times the
weight force of the load. Always use multi-
ple cargo tie-down points in order to dis-
tribute the force absorption. Load the
anchorages evenly.
You will find further information about cargo
tie-down points and cargo tie-down rings in
the "Transporting" section (Y page 244).Cargo tie-down rings
The maximum tensile load of the cargo tie-
down rings is: Cargo tie-down
rings Permissible nomi-
nal tensile load Passenger Vans 786.5 lbf
(3500 N) Cargo Van 1124.0 lbf
(5000 N) Load rails
The maximum tensile loads of the cargo tie-
down points in the cargo compartment are:

(5000 N) Lower load rail on
sidewall 562.0 lbf
(2500 N) Upper load rail on
sidewall 337.0 lbf
(1500 N) The values specified apply only to loads
placed on the floor of the cargo compartment
if:
R
the load is secured to 2 cargo tie-down
points on the rail and
R the distance to the nearest load-securing
point on the same rail is approximately
3 ft (1 m).
Roof carrier G
WARNING
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the driving character-
istics change. If you exceed the maximum roof
load, the driving characteristics, as well as
steering and braking, will be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident. Vehicle data
