as well as standard and optional equipment
of your vehicle that were available at the time
of going to print. Country-specific variations
are possible. Note that your vehicle may not
be equipped with all of the described func-
tions. This also applies to systems and func-

WARNING
If you do not correctly store objects in the
vehicle interior, they can slip or be flung
around, thus striking vehicle occupants.
There is a risk of injury, especially when brak-
ing or abruptly changing directions.
R Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around in these or in similar situa-
tions.
R Always make sure that objects do not pro-
trude from stowage compartments, parcel
nets or stowage nets.
R Close lockable stowage compartments
while driving.
R Stow and secure objects that are heavy,
hard, pointy, sharp-edged, fragile or too
large in the trunk.

Stowage spaces and stowage compartmentsStowing and features
magnetic compatibility must be checked and
verified.
If these devices are linked to functions asso-
ciated with resistance to interference, they
must have type approval. This applies to the
device or its interfaces to the vehicle elec-
tronics, e.g. charging brackets.
A telephone or two-way radio to be installed
in the vehicle must be approved. Further
information can be obtained from any
Sprinter Dealer.
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.
The transmission output of the mobile phone
or two-way radio may not exceed the follow-
ing maximum transmission output (PEAK): Frequency range Maximum trans-
mission output
