Protecting the environment
Natural resources form the basis of our
existence on this planet. The objectives of
our policy are for these resources to be used
sparingly and in a manner which takes the
requirements of both nature and humanity
into account.
Our declared policy is integrated
environmental protection. This policy starts
at the root causes and encompasses in its
management decisions all the consequences
for the environment which could arise
from production processes or the products
themselves.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your Sprinter in an
environmentally responsible manner.
Operating conditions and your individual
driving style to a large extent influence fuel
consumption and the rate of engine, brake,
and tire wear. To reduce fuel consumption
and the rate of wear, please consider the
following:
• Avoid short trips.
• Make sure that the tire pressures are
always correct.
• Avoid frequent, abrupt acceleration.
• Do not carry any unnecessary weight.
• Remove ski and roof racks once you no
longer need them.
• Do not warm up the engine with the
vehicle stationary.
• Shift gears in a timely manner so that
each gear is used only up to 2/3 of its
maximum engine speed.
• Keep an eye on the vehicle’s fuel
consumption.
A regularly serviced vehicle will also help
protect the environment. You should adhere
to the service intervals displayed by the
Mercedes-Benz Active Service System
indicator, along with other maintenance
work described in this booklet.
We recommend that you have services
performed by your authorized Mercedes-
Benz Sprinter Dealer using Genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts.

Regular checks
In addition to the services, we recommend
that you check the following items regularly
(for example: weekly, when refueling, or
before any long journey):
• Engine oil level - Depending on how
your vehicle is equipped, check the
engine oil level using the oil level
dipstick or the control system via the
multifunction steering wheel/display.
Further information about engine oil level
measurement can be found in the vehicle
Operator’s Manual.
• Coolant level - Please refer to the
Operator’s Manual for the correct
procedure to check the coolant level.
• Brake fluid level - If brake fluid has to be
added, see an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Sprinter Dealer to determine the cause,
e.g. leaks or worn brake pads.
• Windshield washing system - If the
washer fluid level drops below 1/3, the
windshield washer fluid level warning lamp
will illuminate. Add washer fluid mixed
with an approved windshield washer
concentrate, test function and check
wiper blades.
• Check Lights
• Tire condition and pressures – Check
at least every other week. Please refer
to section “Tires and wheels” in the
Operator’s Manual for guidelines and
correct procedures to check tire condition

Dealer for more information on selecting the
