Vito Taxi  

Operation Manual

The Vito Taxi has been adapted by one80 Limited, in partnership with Mercedes-Benz, from an 
original Mercedes-Benz Vito.

Take-back of end-of-life vehicles. Coming full circle. At the end of its long life, you can return your 
Vito to us for environmentally-friendly disposal in accordance with the EC End-Of-Life Vehicle 
Directive. But that day lies a long way off.

The take-back of end-of-life vehicles applies in accordance with national regulations to vehicles 
up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight. The Vito has met the requirements governing the suitability 
of a vehicle’s design for reuse and recycling for a number of years now. A network of vehicle 
take-back depots and dismantlers has been established which will process your vehicle in an 
environmentally-friendly manner. The ways in which both vehicles and parts can be recovered are 
subject to ongoing development and improvement. Consequently, the Vito will be able to comply 
with any future increases in the recycling quota within the stipulated time limits.

Please note: changes may have been made to the product since this brochure went to press 
(April 2011). The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to the design, form, colour 
and specification during the delivery period, provided these changes, while taking into account 
the interests of the vendor, can be deemed reasonable with respect to the purchaser. Where the 
vendor or the manufacturer uses symbols or numbers to describe an order or the subject of an 
order, no rights may be derived solely from these. The illustrations and descriptions may include 
accessories and items of optional equipment which are not part of the standard specification. 
Colours may differ slightly from those shown in the brochure, owing to the limitations of the 
printing process.

All references to weights and dimensions are subject to manufacturing tolerances of +/- 5%.
