Sprinter 906
ZG3
4x4 – High Range
Details & Technology
The Sprinter with on-demand all-wheel drive and manually selectable reduction gear (i=1.4)
generally acts in the same way as the Sprinter with on-demand all-wheel drive (Code ZG1).
In addition, the all-wheel-drive system has a reduction gear that can be engaged and
disengaged. It is only possible to engage the reduction gear when the vehicle is at a standstill.
The reduction gear should only be engaged when needed as its use leads to a rise in fuel
consumption.
An intermediate gear (off-road gear) in the transfer case reduces the gear ratio between the
engine and the wheels by about 40% with a corresponding increase in torque at the wheels.
Benefits & Arguments
Expanded operations in difficult terrain
Allows particularly slow and sensitive driving
