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.

Service information You can find a list with descriptions of the
maintenance work in this booklet, starting
from (Y page 9). Following every mainte-
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

We continuously strive to improve our prod-
ucts and ask for your understanding that we
reserve the right to make changes to the peri-
