GWARNING
The function of systems or components can
be affected by conversions or modifications
to the vehicle. They might not function prop-
erly anymore and/or jeopardize the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of an accident and injury.
Conversions or modifications should always
be carried out at qualified specialist work-
shop.
If you intend to make modifications to your vehi-
cle, we strongly recommend that you contact
the distributor named on the inside of the front
cover. There you will receive all the necessary
information and a charge may be levied.
You alone accept the responsibility if body man-
ufacturers or dealers make modifications that
affect the final certification of the engine, the
vehicle or the equipment. This also applies to
the identification and documentation of modifi-
cations to the affected vehicle components.
You are responsible for certification and confir-
mation that:
Rall the applicable standards and regulations
that are affected by the vehicle modification
are met
Rthe modified vehicle fulfills the vehicle safety standards and emissions laws and regula-
tions
Rthe modifications or installation of accesso-
ries does not affect the safety of the vehicle
We are not responsible for the final certification,
product liability or warranty claims which result
from the modifications. This applies to:
Rthe modified components, assemblies or sys-
tems
Rany resulting noncompliance with any of the
emissions laws and regulations or the motor
vehicle safety standards
Rany consequences arising from the changes
that make the vehicle less safe or even render it defective
We do not assume responsibility as the final-
stage manufacturer or for the consequential
product liability.
Notes on the radiator
Even seemingly small changes to the vehicle,
such as attaching a radiator trim for winter driv-
ing, is not permitted. Do not cover up the radi-
ator. Do not use thermal mats, insect protection
covers or anything similar.
Otherwise, the values of the diagnostic system
may be affected. Some of these values are
legally prescribed and must always be correct.
Information on the cargo compartment
floor
!The wooden or plastic cargo area floor fitted
at the factory is an integral component of the
vehicle structure. The vehicle body could be
damaged if you have the load area floor
removed. This then affects the securing of
loads and the maximum loading capacity of
the lashing points is no longer guaranteed.
Therefore, do not have the load area floor
removed.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
!
Air bags and Emergency Tensioning Devi-
ces, as well as control units and sensors for
these restraint systems, may be installed in
the following areas of your vehicle:
Rdoors
Rdoor pillars
Rdoor sills
Rseats
Rcockpit
Rinstrument cluster
Rcenter console
Do not install accessories such as audio sys-
tems in these areas. Do not carry out repairs or welding. You could impair the operating
efficiency of the restraint systems.
Have aftermarket accessories installed at a
qualified specialist workshop.
HEnvironmental note
We supply reconditioned assemblies and
parts which are of the same quality as new
parts. The same New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty applies as for new parts.

Rear view camera
Important safety notes
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immediate
surroundings. You are responsible for safe
maneuvering, parking and pulling away. When
maneuvering, parking and pulling away, make
sure that there are no persons, animals or
objects in the maneuvering area.
The rear view camera is a visual parking aid.
Information on operation can be found in the
separate Audio 15 supplement.
The camera is in the middle of the roof above the
high-mounted brake lamp (
Ypage 232).
You can find information on cleaning the camera
in the "Maintenance and care" section
(
Ypage 232).
Working mode
ADR (working speed governor)
General notes
When activated, ADR automatically increases
the engine speed to a preset speed or a speed
you have set.
iAfter a cold start, the idling speed of the
engine is increased automatically. If the pre-
set working speed is lower than the increased idling speed, the working speed is only
reached once the engine has completed the
warm-up phase.
It is only possible to activate ADR with the
vehicle stationary and the parking brake
applied.
The selector lever of the automatic transmis-
sion must be in position P.

AUDIOmenu has functions for
controlling the radio or CD player.
Unlike in other menus, you will find submenus in
the Settings
menu. For information on how to
use these submenus, see the "Settings menu"
section (
Ypage 165).
The number of menus depends on your vehicle's
equipment.
iOperation of the audio equipment using the
steering wheel buttons and making settings
using the AUDIOmenu only function with
Sprinter audio equipment. If you are using
audio equipment from another manufacturer,
the described functions may be restricted or
not available at all.
