Protection of the environment
Natural resources form the basis of our exis-
tence on this planet. The objective is to use
the natural resources which form the basis of our existence on this planet sparingly and in a
manner which takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into account..
Our declared policy is one of integrated envi-
ronmental protection, starting at the root
causes and encompassing in its management decisions all the consequences for the envi-
ronment which could arise from production
processes or the products themselves.
You too can help protect the environment by
operating your Sprinter in an environmentally responsible manner. Fuel consumption and the wear of your
engine, brakes and tires largely depend on
the operating conditions and your individual
driving style. To reduce fuel consumption and wear, note the following:
R avoid short trips.
R always ensure that the tire pressure is cor-
rect.
R avoid frequent and abrupt acceleration.
R avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
R remove ski and roof racks once you no lon-
ger need them.
R do not warm up the engine while the vehicle
is stationary.
R shift gears in a timely manner so that each
gear is used only up to 2
/ 3 of its maximum
engine speed.
R monitor the fuel consumption.
A regularly serviced vehicle will also help pro- tect the environment. Comply with the main-
tenance intervals indicated by the ASSYST
service interval display, as well as any other 2
