MAINTENANCE
Scheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle
performance and reliability. The limited warranties in the warranty booklet DO NOT COVER repairs
required due to improper maintenance. DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. reserves the right to deny warranty
coverage if the vehicle has not been properly maintained. We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled
maintenance and keep receipts or other documents. Use only recommended Mopar
®
lubricants and genuine
Mopar
®
parts. In the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals, please contact your
retailer. AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME (MONTHS) AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL
THAT OCCURS FIRST.
The use of special lubricant additives is not
recommended. The use of such additives may
affect your warranty rights. With regard to legal
stipulations concerning emissions control, please
note that engines have to be serviced and adjusted
in accordance with special instructions and using
special measuring equipment. Modifications
to, or interference with, the emissions control
systems are not permissible. All Sprinter Retailers
are familiar with the relevant and appliable
regulations.
REGULAR CHECK-UPS
To maintain the safe operation of your vehicle,
it is recommended that you perform the
following tasks on a regular basis (e.g. weekly
or whenever the vehicle is refueled). Check:
• Engine oil level
• Brake system, clutch mechanism – fluid level
• Battery – acid level
• Windshield washer system and headlamp
cleaning system – fluid level
• Mechanical assemblies (e.g. engine,
transmission, etc.) – check for leaks
• Condition of tires and tire pressures
• All exterior lights
This is intended as a guide to the service
requirements of your vehicle. It contains
all necessary instructions concerning
service intervals and operations which have
to be carried out. Scope and frequency of
maintenance work primarily depend on the
vehicle’s operating conditions. In the interest of
maintaining the vehicle’s operating safety, the
specified work should be performed regularly
and in good time. Our vehicles are subject to
ongoing development. Technical progress may
also affect the scope of service work performed.
“Daily vehicle checks” before starting a journey
are the responsibility of the driver.
The Sprinter Retailer network is at your disposal
for maintenance work. Each of these workshops
has the equipment and tools, the specially
trained, skilled and experienced personnel
and receives regular technical instruction
from DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. to ensure
that your vehicle is inspected and maintained
thoroughly and in accordance with the latest
procedures.
Please follow the instructions given in this
Maintenance Service Manual and ensure
that they are observed, even if you hand the
vehicle over to a third party for use or care.
By not observing these instructions, you may
void your warranty rights. If the specified oil
and maintenance services are not carried out
regularly or at the time intervals specified, a
decision as to the validity of a warranty claim
can only be made after DaimlerChrysler Canada
Inc. has investigated your claim.
