Introduction
Environmental protection
In this manual, whenever you see instruc-
tions to discard materials, you should first
attempt to reclaim and recycle them. To
preserve our environment, follow appropri-
ate environmental rules and regulations
when disposing of materials.
Environmental note
H
DaimlerChrysler’s declared policy is one of
comprehensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
which form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in a manner
which takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
You too can contribute to environmental
protection by operating your vehicle in an
environmentally-responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and engine, transmission,
brake and tire wear depend on the two fol-
lowing factors:
Operating conditions of your vehicle
Your personal driving style
You can influence both factors.
Observe the following notes:
Operating conditions
Avoid driving short distances as this in-
creases fuel consumption.
Make sure that the tire pressures are al-
ways correct.
Do not carry any unnecessary weight
in/on the vehicle.
Keep an eye on the vehicle’s fuel con-
sumption.
Remove roof racks once you no longer
need them.
A regularly serviced vehicle will contrib-
ute to environmental protection. You
should therefore adhere to the specified
service intervals.
Always have maintenance work carried
out at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Personal driving style
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
Do not warm up the engine when the ve-
hicle is stationary.
Adopt an anticipatory style of driving
and keep a sufficient distance from oth-
er vehicles.
Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration.
Switch off the engine in stationary traf-
fic.
