MAINTENANCE
Scheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle
performance and reliability. The limited warranties in the warranty booklet DO NOT COVER repairs
required due to improper maintenance.
DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. reserves the right to deny warranty
coverage if the vehicle has not been properly maintained.
We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled
maintenance and keep receipts or other documents. Use only recommended Mopar
®
lubricants and genuine
Mopar
®
parts. In the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals, please contact your
retailer. AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME (MONTHS) AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL
THAT OCCURS FIRST.
The use of special lubricant additives is not
recommended. The use of such additives may
affect your warranty rights. With regard to legal
stipulations concerning emissions control,
please note that engines have to be serviced and
adjusted in accordance with special instructions
and using special measuring equipment.
Modifications to, or interference with, the
emissions control systems are not permissible.
All Sprinter Retailers are familiar with the
relevant and appliable regulations.
REGULAR CHECK-UPS
To maintain the safe operation of your vehicle,
it is recommended that you perform the
following tasks on a regular basis (e.g. weekly
or whenever the vehicle is refueled). Check:
• Engine oil level
•
Brake system, clutch mechanism
–
fluid level
• Battery – acid level
• Windshield washer system and headlamp
cleaning system – fluid level
• Mechanical assemblies (e.g. engine,
transmission, etc.) – check for leaks
• Condition of tires and tire pressures
• All exterior lights
This is intended as a guide to the service
requirements of your vehicle. It contains all
necessary instructions concerning service
intervals and operations which have to be
carried out. Scope and frequency of
maintenance work primarily depend on the
vehicle's operating conditions. In the interest of
maintaining the vehicle's operating safety, the
specified work should be performed regularly
and in good time. Our vehicles are subject to
ongoing development. Technical progress may
also affect the scope of service work performed.
"Daily vehicle checks" before starting a journey
are the responsibility of the driver.
The Sprinter Retailer network is at your
disposal for maintenance work. Each of these
workshops has the equipment and tools, the
specially trained, skilled and experienced
personnel and receives regular technical
instruction from DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc.
to ensure that your vehicle is inspected and
maintained thoroughly and in accordance with
the latest procedures.
Please follow the instructions given in this
Maintenance Service Manual and ensure that
they are observed, even if you hand the vehicle
over to a third party for use or care. By not
observing these instructions, you may void your
warranty rights. If the specified oil and
maintenance services are not carried out
regularly or at the time intervals specified, a
decision as to the validity of a warranty claim
can only be made after DaimlerChrysler Canada
Inc. has investigated your claim.
