Introduction to CITAN, Model Series 415
Dear Reader,
This Introduction into Service Manual presents the
new Mercedes-Benz Citan of model series 415.
The Mercedes-Benz Citan is the first product of the
partnership between Daimler AG and Renault-
Nissan AG.
The familiar Mercedes-Benz attributes of added value,
quality and longevity have been aimed for and
achieved throughout the vehicle!
The purpose of this brochure is to acquaint you with
the technical highlights of this new vehicle in advance
of its market launch. It is intended to provide informa-
tion for people employed in service, maintenance and
repair as well as for aftersales staff. It is assumed here
that the reader is already familiar with the
Mercedes-Benz model series currently on the market.
This Introduction into Service Manual is not intended
as an aid for repairs or for the diagnosis of technical
problems. For such needs, more extensive information
is available in the Workshop Information System (WIS)
and in the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS). WIS is
updated monthly. Therefore, the information available
there reflects the latest technical status of our vehi-
cles.
This Introduction into Service Manual presents initial
information relating to the new Citan in model series
415 and, as such, is not stored in WIS. The contents of
these brochures are not updated and no provision is
made for supplements. We will publicize modifications
and new features in the relevant WIS documents. The
information presented in this Introduction into Service
manual may therefore differ from the more up-to-date
information found in the WIS.
All information relating to technical data, equipment
and options is valid as of the copy deadline in
July 2012 and may therefore differ from the current
production configuration.
iNote
Information about the vehicles and about oper-
ating the vehicle functions can also be found in the
interactive owner's manual on the Internet at:

Front
The first feature to strike the eye is the typically
Mercedes appearance of the Citan.
The clear glass headlamps are marked by a smooth
transition between the matt gray sections and the
stylish chromium-plated elements.
Rear
The rear end, equipped either with rear-end doors or a
liftgate, also has familiar Mercedes features.
The angular lines of the rear window continue into the
angular lines of the rear lamps, a design which hints at
that of the Mercedes Sprinter. The red clear glass rear
lamps are characterized by a combination of shiny and
matt chrome-plated lines.

Doors and liftgate
The Citan is either equipped with
• Rear-end doors, two doors, asymmetrical, with
locking points at 90° and 180°. (standard panel
van)
or
• Liftgate (standard passenger van)
Including wiper/washer system and rear window
heater on passenger van (standard) and panel van
(optional).
The rear-end doors can be locked at an opening angle
of 90° and 180° to allow a Euro pallet to be loaded
easily.
Sliding doors
A right-hand sliding door is standard equipment on all
LHD model designations with a body length of A2 or
A3. A second sliding door on the left is available as
special equipment.
On the Mixto and passenger van models, the sliding
doors feature a fixed window as standard, which
cannot be opened. Pop-out windows and power
windows are available optionally on the passenger
van.

Windows
All windows are installed flush with the surface and
are made of heat-insulating, tinted glass in the
passenger compartment. Manual front windows are
standard equipment (crank mechanism). Side
windows are fitted between the B and C-pillar on both
the partially glazed Mixto panel van and fully glazed
passenger van. Only the passenger van features addi-
tional side windows on the left and right between the
C and D-pillar.
Windows with a stronger tint are available for the rear
compartment and rear window as an additional
special equipment option in order to reduce heating of
the interior compartment and further improve the
external appearance of the vehicle. Their light trans-
mission is greater than or equal to 70% and energy
transmission less than or equal to 45%.
Wiper/washer system
The Citan features a parallel windshield wiper system
with bracket-mounted or flat wiper blades which can
be controlled by a rain/light sensor (SA). On vehicles
with glazed asymmetric rear-end doors (panel van or
Mixto) or liftgate, a single rear window wiper is
installed.
Outside mirrors
The glass of the left and right outside mirrors is
aspherical as standard to improve safety.
Other available options include:
• Heated and electrically adjustable outside mirrors
• Heated, electrically adjustable and power folding
outside mirrors

l
The interior of the Citan offers design, comfort and
quality at the usual high standard of Mercedes-Benz
vans.
This is reflected by the functional and ergonomic oper-
ating concept, the flexible interior concept and the
wide-range of stowage possibilities. The interior trim is
as high quality as it is functional.
Design
The clearly arranged interior compartment combined
with the familiar Mercedes operating philosophy
provides a high-quality, functional and coherent
impression at first glance. The round air vents also
used on other model series are again found here.
The graining on the upper section of the instrument
panel ensures scratch resistance and easy cleaning.
Colors and materials
The same fabrics, coverings and materials are used for
the interior design as those which are used in other
van model series.
Seat upholstery
The robust, non-irritant and easy-care seat covering
fabric used as standard is identical to that of the Vito
and Sprinter. It features a combination of black, 4mm-
thick textile fabric with gray check pattern (center of
seat) and 2mm-thick, black flat-woven fabric (side
seat cushions/backrests, head restraints and
armrests).
The rear of the seat backrests is covered in black,
1mm-thick imitation leather.
The sidewall trim consists of an anthracite-colored
flat-woven fabric with a color to complement the seat
design.
The center panel of the front doors between the door
handle and speaker can also be optionally covered in
a suitable fabric. Grained plastic is used here instead
as standard.
Trim panels and other interior materials
All trim panels and interior materials of the new Citan
are high-quality as well as functional and easy to
clean. Black polypropylene plastic is the main material
used for the interior paneling.

Rear compartment
The rear compartment of the Citan can be arranged
flexibly. The passenger compartment offers space for
the driver and front passenger on the panel van and
for up to three additional passengers on the rear
bench seat of the Mixto and passenger van. The func-
tional cargo area of the new Citan is also highly versa-
tile due to the various partition walls and options
which are available.
Cargo area concept
The cargo area concept of the Citan offers flexible
loading possibilities. Anchors (anchoring lugs) in the
floor and, where applicable, on the side walls can be
used to secure loads.
An optional cargo area cover for the passenger van
can be hooked into the cargo area trim on the left and
right-hand sides. This consists of two fixed covering
parts which conceal the contents of the cargo area.
There are three possible positions for the cargo area
cover:
• Top, whereby one section is folded down and can
be placed on the other section
• Bottom
• In the storage position at the rear of the rear bench
seat
Securing loads
Anchoring lugs are embedded into the floor of the
cargo area and, where applicable, into the side panels
(except passenger van) for the purpose of securing
loads. These protect the driver from the possibility of
cargo sliding around in the vehicle, while also
protecting the sidewalls, panels and cargo being
transported from damage. A rail on the side wall with
two movable anchoring lugs is also available
optionally.

Partition walls and load protection grilles
Various partition wall and load protection grille options are available for the Citan to safely isolate the passenger
compartment from sliding loads in the cargo area.
Panel van
• Full-width partition wall without window (standard)
• Full-width partition wall with window (SA)
• Omission of partition wall (SA)
• Steel load protection grille, folding, for passenger
side or full-width (SA).
If the passenger seat is folded down, the cargo area
can be extended by the space over the folded seat.
The hinged section can be folded through 90° behind
the passenger seat to protect the driver from the
cargo.
Mixto
If the partition wall is omitted, an inside rearview attached to the windshield mirror can be included. The
manually adjustable, antiglare rearview mirror is installed as standard on the passenger van and is otherwise
available as an option. It can be omitted on panel vans with partition wall but is still installed if a light/rain sensor
is ordered because this is located in the mirror housing.
• Fixed steel load protection grille on C-pillar (SA).
The fixed steel load protection grille is attached to
the C-pillar behind the rear bench seat. It allows up
to five people plus cargo to be transported simulta-
neously.
• Folding 1st row 3-passenger bench seat with load
protection grille (SA). This 3-passenger bench seat
incorporates a folding load protection grille at the
rear. Folding down the rear bench seat allows the
cargo area to be enlarged if necessary and the
bench seat acts as a load protection grille. The
bench seat can then no longer be used. This turns
the five-seater Mixto into a two-seater with highly
variable cargo area.

Passenger compartment concept
Alongside the trunk/cargo area, the passenger compartment can also be used very flexibly. This is enabled, for
example, by the split rear seats on the passenger van. All LHD vehicles are equipped with a right-hand sliding
door as standard to enable easy access to the cargo area or 3-passenger bench seat in the rear.
2-seater/5-seater
As described previously, the driver and front
passenger seats are separated from the cargo area by
a full-width partition wall installed as standard on all
panel vans.
The possible seat configurations with the folding front
passenger seat and 3-passenger bench seat are illus-
trated here.
