Introduction
Active Service System (ASSYST)
General notes Your Sprinter is equipped with the
Active
Service System (ASSYST) . The mainte-
nance computer tracks distance driven and
the time elapsed since your last service. The
service is shown in the multifunction display
in the instrument cluster.
The multifunction display shows a message
approximately one month before the mainte-
nance service is due. It indicates when the
next service is due in miles or days.
The symbols or letters on the service display
show the type of service that is due.
0099 orA

009A orB B Maintenance service
Services are carried out in a series defined as A-B. The first oil service plus (Service A) is due
after 20,000 miles. The first maintenance ser-
vice (Service B) is due after 40,000 miles.

Service information You can find a list with descriptions of the
maintenance work in this booklet, starting

nance service, the authorized Sprinter dealer will reset the service interval display by con-
firming the maintenance work performed.
The authorized Sprinter dealer performing the maintenance service will confirm the work
has been carried out using the confirmation
pages in this Maintenance Booklet
(Y page 15).
We continuously strive to improve our prod-
ucts and ask for your understanding that we
reserve the right to make changes to the peri-
odic maintenance work for our vehicles.

Only use DEF according to ISO 22241. Do
not add special additives to DEF or dilute it
with water. This can damage the BlueEFFI-
CIENCY ®
exhaust gas aftertreatment. Description of maintenance work for
the exhaust system
The composition of exhaust emissions is
influenced not only by the exhaust gas after-
treatment system, but also by various engine
parts and their settings.
Maintenance of the exhaust system must
therefore include these engine parts. Some
maintenance jobs are actually only tests.
They are important, however, because they
allow early detection of discrepancies which
can later lead to increased exhaust emis-
sions. It is generally less costly to adjust devi- ations of this sort immediately than to wait
until they incur high repair costs. The main-
tenance intervals have been determined so
that the vehicle, under normal operating con- ditions, should operate properly between
maintenance services. Changing the engine oil and filter
Change engine oil and replace oil filters after every 20,000 miles. If oil consumption should
increase, determine the cause and take nec-
essary corrective steps. Do not reset the ser-
vice interval display if the oil level is filled up
or the oil is changed at times other than the
recommended intervals. Replacing the air filter
Under normal dust conditions, the air filter
should be replaced every 60,000 miles. Clean
the air filter cap and housing before removing the air filter. Replacing the fuel filter
Replace the fuel filter every 20,000 miles. Checking the diesel particle filter
The level of the diesel particle filter must be
checked for the first time at 100,000 miles.
If the saturation level is still below the thresh- old value at 100,000 miles, the saturation
level of the diesel particle filter must be
checked again at each subsequent oil service
plus/maintenance service.
If the level of the diesel particle filter is above the limit value, the diesel particle filter should
be replaced.
Once the new diesel particle filter has been
installed, the checking cycle starts again after
100,000 miles. Checking and adding DEF
Check and refill DEF every 20,000 miles. Maintenance service
Vehicle maintenance work (including
exhaust system maintenance)
i The maintenance services should be car-
ried out at the specified mileage or after the specified number of years (whichever
comes first).

maintenance services here (Y page 9).

maintenance for the exhaust system here
