Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended
for the connection of diagnostic equipment at
a qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you connect equipment to the diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it may affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. As a result, the operating safety of the vehicle could be
affected. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos-
tics connection in the vehicle. Changing the engine power output
! Increases in engine power can:
R change the emission values
R cause malfunctions
R cause consequential damage
The operating reliability of the engine is not
guaranteed in all cases.
Any tampering with the engine management
system in order to increase the engine power output will lead to the loss of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty and other warranty entitle-
ments.
If you sell the vehicle, inform the purchaser
about the changes to the engine power out-
put of the vehicle. If you do not inform the
buyer, this may constitute a punishable
offense under national legislation. Qualified specialist workshops
An authorized Sprinter Dealer is a qualified
specialist workshop.
A qualified specialist workshop has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge, tools and quali-
fications to correctly carry out the work
required on the vehicle.
This is especially the case for work relevant to
safety. Observe the information in the Main-
tenance Booklet. The following work should always be carried
out at qualified specialist workshop:
R work relevant to safety
R service and maintenance work
R repair work
R modifications as well as installations and
alterations
R work on electronic components
For this reason, we recommend an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
! Only have work carried out on the engine
electronics and its associated parts, such
as control units, sensors, actuating com-
ponents and connector leads, at a qualified specialist workshop. Vehicle components
may otherwise wear more quickly and the
vehicle's operating permit may be invalida-
ted. Registering your vehicle
We may ask our authorized Sprinter Dealers
to carry out technical inspections on certain
vehicles to improve their quality or safety. We can only inform you about vehicle checks if
we have your registration data.
Your registration data is not stored if:
R you did not purchase your vehicle at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
R your vehicle has never been inspected at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
It is advisable to register your vehicle with an
authorized Sprinter Dealer. Please inform us
as soon as possible about any change of
address or vehicle ownership. Exhaust gas aftertreatment
To function properly, exhaust gas aftertreat-
ment must be operated with Diesel Exhaust
Fluid (DEF) reducing agent . The DEF range is dependent on operating and driving condi-
tions. Therefore, add to the DEF supply tank
regularly during vehicle operation or, at the Int
roduction
