Parts/operating materials
We recommend using only genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts for service and repair
work, since these conform to our
specifications. In addition, use only fuels,
lubricants and corrosion inhibitors/
antifreeze agents that correspond to the
factory specifications. Please see your
authorized Sprinter Dealer for more
information on this subject.
Emission system maintenance
Emission control system caution -
diesel engines
Your Sprinter is equipped with emission
control devices to comply with current diesel
exhaust emission regulations in countries
where the vehicle is certified for sale. Follow
our recommended maintenance instructions
in order to ensure the proper operating state
of your vehicle.
Note the following:
a) Diesel engines require diesel fuel with
extremely low sulfur content for road vehicles
(maximum 15 ppm sulfur), in compliance with
ASTM D975standard. Failure to use ultra low
sulfur highway diesel fuel (ULSD) can severely
damage the vehicle's exhaust gas
aftertreatment system.
b) We approve the use of B5 (standard ULSD,
which may contain up to 5% bio-diesel) for all
BlueEFFICIENCY
®
diesel engines.
Diesel fuels thatcontain ahigher proportion
of bio-diesel, e.g. B20orpure bio-diesel fuel,
can severely damage the engine and fuel
system and are notpermitted.
Contact your Service Center for more
information.Ifthe B5 bio-diesel blend is not
clearly labeled to indicate that it meets the
ULSD standard, it should not be used. The
New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover
damage caused by the use fuels that do not
meet our approved fuel standards.
c) The prescribed engine maintenance
work must be carried out fully and at the
required intervals.
d) The exhaust gas aftertreatment
system operation must not be modified
in any way. Alterations are not permissible
by law. Alterations can also damage the
catalytic converter and result in increased
fuel consumption and impaired engine
running conditions.
If the "CHECK ENGINE" indicator lamp lights
up in the instrumentcluster when the engine
is running, this indicates that there may be a
malfunction in the engine control system or
in the exhaust gas aftertreatmentsystem.
We recommend having the malfunction
checked as soonas possible.
BlueEFFICIENCY
®
exhaust gas
aftertreatment using DEF
BlueEFFICIENCY
®
exhaust gas
aftertreatmentrequires a reducing agent
(DEF) in order to function properly.
Maintaining the level and condition of the DEF
is part of the regular maintenance service
work.
DEF is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless
and odorless, water-soluble liquid.
!
Only use DEF according to ISO 22241. Do
not add special additives to DEFordilute it
with water.This can damage the
BlueEFFICIENCY
®
exhaust gas
aftertreatment.
Description of emission system
maintenance jobs
The composition of exhaust emissions is
influenced not only by the exhaust gas
aftertreatment system, but also by various
engine parts and their settings.
Maintenance of the exhaust system must
therefore include these engine parts. Some
maintenance jobs are actually only tests.
