The Sprinter. Every version a true professionalNobody knows more about your job than you do. That’s why the Sprinter panel van lets you take your pick. With three wheelbase versions, four body lengths and three load compartment heights, you have a free hand selecting the right solution for virtually any transport task. Several application-matched engines can be combined with a wide range of special equipment to fit any and every need. And as always with the Sprinter,

its many practical talents don’t come at the expense of an attractive appearance: dynamic lines, satisfying proportions and the characteristic Mercedes face come as stan-dard whatever the version – long, compact, with standard roof or super-high roof. Your Sprinter: it’s a professional partner you can count on.

Whatever you have planned – the Sprinter takes it in its strideThe Sprinter panel van takes loads as they come. It can be loaded from behind, from the right-hand side or, optionally, from the left as well. The exceptionally wide side load compartment opening allows Europallets to be loaded comfortably, even long-edge first. And useful options like the KEYLESS ENTRY & SLIDE automatic door opener allow you to save valuable time during the trip as well.

The Sprinter goes out of its way to meet panel van customers’ continually increas-ing expectations regarding flexibility. Extra-large door openings and innovative technology allow fast, efficient and conve-nient loading and unloading.

The simplest way to grow your businessThe name Sprinter is not just a seal of quality, it also represents an obligation to carry on setting new standards. Transport capacity has been upped once again – a fourth body length and the optional super-high roof now offer you up to 17 m³ of cargo space. Near-vertical interior walls, levelled-off wheel arches and a payload capacity of up to 2710 kg allow you to make the best possible use of this space. And to make sure all that extra cargo is properly restrained, the Sprinter also offers you a full range of load-securing features.

Lots and lots of space – this theme carries over into the cab as well. With its gener -ous space, and holders and compartments for all manner of everyday essentials, the Sprinter’s professional stowage system meets the practical needs of a wide range of sectors and applications.

Room for six people – and a thousand and one other thingsThe Sprinter with partially glazed load compartment is a panel van with all the advantages of a minibus – making it ideal for all those applications where you need to carry a team of people plus large amounts of materials and equipment. This version offers seating for up to six people – without compromising on the Sprinter’s typical interior flexibility. The optional rear seat bench is designed for quick and easy installation and removal.

Large windows to the rear of the B-pillar, a convenient entrance, superior-quality seats and lots of room – the partially glazed Sprinter panel van also offers first-class comfort for second-row passengers.

Specialities from a single, high-quality source: the Sprinter application-specific solutions*Each industry has its own specific requirements. For highly specific applications, we therefore offer the Sprinter as a customised complete solution, ready to go, from a single source: VAN SOLUTION makes it much easier for you to select and purchase your application-specific van. As well as a wide range of complete solutions from a single source, numerous other application-specific solutions* for the Sprinter are available from qualified body and conversion firms – your Mercedes-Benz dealer will be happy to advise you.

VAN SOLUTION means you get a single contact: the consultant at your Mercedes-Benz dealership is your link to the com-bined expertise of both vehicle manufac-turer and conversion firm. Our support extends from service, repair and warranty to provision of a replacement vehicle. When it comes to reliability and cost-effec-tiveness too, VAN SOLUTION offers you benefits, since the application-specific vehicles are the result of close collabora-tion with selected body and conversion firms. A good example of this is the interior refrigeration system for the Sprinter panel van.

The Sprinter with refrigerated bodyThe Sprinter panel van is available from a single source as a fully converted, ready-to-go refrigerated vehicle with 8.6 m³ of cargo space. Pallets can be loaded either through the sliding door at the side or through the hinged rear doors. The insula-tion meets the requirements of the ATP, HACCP and DIN 1815 regulations for refrig-erated vehicles and provides refrigeration down to 0° C. An extensive range of acces-sories is available to meet a wide range of individual needs. Options include an auxiliary refrigeration system for pre-cool-ing the load compartment, a divider for creating two separate temperature zones and a PVC strip curtain to help prevent cold air escaping when the door is open.

Many other high-calibre body and conversion solutionsAs well as the refrigerated vehicle, our VAN SOLUTION range for the Sprinter includes further complete solutions adapted in line with your requirements and your application, right down to the last detail – including three-way tippers, light-weight, plywood, refrigerator and freezer box bodies as well as a folding tail lift. These solutions are also available in ready-to-go format from a single source. In addition to this, qualified Mercedes-Benz-approved body and conversion firms offer further high-grade application-specific solutions*, for example a range of conversions for the trades sector. Your Mercedes-Benz dealer will be glad to help find the right solution for you.

*The sector-specific Sprinter models are not available in all European countries. If you have any queries or requests, please contact your Mercedes-Benz van dealer, who will be happy to provide expert advice

Give yourself a comfortable leadThe conditions in which you operate your van aren’t getting any easier. So it’s good that at least you can count on the Sprinter to ease the strain: with high standards of operating ease and convenience, lots of space and lots of clever solutions. On top of this, the Sprinter also offers you a wide range of practical and innovative equipment which you can mix and match to suit your requirements. After all, you’re in the driving seat.

The Sprinter sets standards in driver com-fort and control, largely due to a new instru-ment panel that takes design, materials quality and ergonomics to new levels. Numer-ous convenience features also offer the driver important benefits in terms of active safety.

Convincing on the road – and on the balance sheet tooCost-efficiency is essential to running a successful business – and it’s one of the factors that have helped make the Sprinter so popular. Our engineers have given particularly close attention to those aspects of the vehicle which affect your bottom line: like reliability, long service life and engines which combine fuel economy with ample power reserves – optionally available with fuel consumption-reducing ECO-Start¹⁾ automatic engine-start function. What’s more, if you often have to contend with difficult operating condi-tions, we can also recommend the optional all-wheel-drive system²⁾ incorporating ADAPTIVE ESP® and the electronic traction system 4ETS.

Reasons for the Sprinter’s excellent overall economy include high quality standards, exemplary engineering, good resale values and state-of-the-art engines. By way of example, the innovative natural-gas drive system for the Sprinter NGT allows fuel savings of up to 30 % compared to the diesel version and up to 50 % compared to the pet-rol version. Fuel consumption in the already very economical 4-cylinder CDI die-sel engines with manual transmission can be reduced even further still by speci-fying the optional ECO-Start¹⁾ automatic engine-start function.

The optional ASSYST service computer helps to reduce service costs: it allows flexible oil change intervals of 40,000 km or every two years on average for diesel vehicles (30,000 km for petrol vehicles), depending on application. Longer intervals are also possible, depending on the inten-sity of vehicle usage and driving style.12-year corrosion perforation warranty4 economical 4-cylinder CDI diesel engines with piezoelectric injection and, in some versions, “BI-FLEX” two-stage turbocharging; for even more demanding requirements, there’s also a 135 kW (184 hp) V6 CDI diesel engineSprinter NGT (Natural Gas Technology) with extremely ecofriendly natural-gas and petrol drive; the 4-cylinder in-line engine with a rated output of 115 kW (156 hp) and a peak torque of 240 Nm meets the requirements of the EU4 emission standard

18 Safety

The Sprinter’s ADAPTIVE ESP® system which takes account of the load status represents another positive development in the van segment. But it is only one of many active and passive safety features which help the Sprinter to set new stan-dards.

ADAPTIVE ESP® Electronic Stability Program in combination with anti-lock braking system (ABS), acceleration skid control (ASR), Brake Assist (BAS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBD)Very good crash performanceHead restraints with 2-way adjustment standard on all seats; 4-way adjustment optionally availableDriver airbag as standard

Glossary

Acceleration skid control (ASR)At the first signs of wheel spin, that is to say if the rotational speed of one of the drive wheels suddenly increases, ASR intervenes in the engine management to reduce en-gine power and also in the braking system to prevent wheel spin. ASR ensures smooth start-off and acceleration, without wheel spin or sideways drift. The result is im-proved traction – and safety – particularly on split-friction or slippery surfaces.

Glossary38

ADAPTIVE ESP® Electronic Stability ProgramADAPTIVE ESP® is an innovative dynamic handling control system, which for the first time also takes the vehicle load into account. It actively intervenes in certain hazardous driving situations, e.g. if there is an imminent risk of skidding, by apply-ing a braking force to one or more wheels

and adjusting the engine output as required so as to help the driver deal with the haz-ardous situation. As well as aiding direc-tional stability, ADAPTIVE ESP® combines the functions of the anti-lock braking sys-tem (ABS), acceleration skid control (ASR), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BAS) and the Start-off Assist system (special equipment).

Caution: ADAPTIVE ESP® can only act within the laws of physics. It is therefore impos -sible for ADAPTIVE ESP® to prevent skid -ding resulting from aquaplaning, for example. If the driver exceeds the physi-cal limits, even ADAPTIVE ESP® will not be able to prevent an accident!

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)The anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking during braking. Speed sensors continuously monitor the speed of each wheel. Before there is a risk of a wheel locking, the brake pressure is reduced. When the danger of locking has been averted, the pressure is increased again. ABS helps the driver to maintain steering control of the vehicle, even during emergency braking. The driver will feel a slight pulsating of the brake pedal when ABS is active.

Brake Assist (BAS)In tests carried out in the driving simula-tor, our research engineers established that drivers do not apply the brakes vigor-ously enough during emergency braking. This finding led them to develop the Brake Assist system. From the speed at which the brake pedal is depressed, Brake Assist is able to detect a situation where emer-gency braking is required. In such a situa-tion the system automatically increases braking power, aided by the anti-lock brak-ing system (ABS) which prevents the wheels from locking up.

Windowbags and thorax bagsThe Sprinter can be equipped with driver and co-driver windowbags and thorax bags to complement the front airbags. In a severe side impact, the windowbag serves to increase the degree of protection available for the head of the occupant on the impact side. It deploys in the area of the side windows. Housed in the out-side bolsters of the seat backrests, thorax bags are designed to provide increased protection for the thorax of the seat occu-pant.

39

Electronic brake force distribution (EBD)Electronic brake force distribution (EBD) proportions the braking force between the front and rear wheels as required, in order to optimise braking efficiency in all driv -ing situations. In this way the system pre-vents “overbraking” of the rear wheels, which could cause the tail to start sliding. At the same time EBD puts less stress on the front brakes, which reduces the risk of fading due to overheating.

Bi-xenon headlamps with Add-Light System and cornering light functionConventional headlamps fail to provide suf -ficient illumination of the area to the side immediately ahead of a vehicle. This is particularly true on tight bends, at junctions and when manoeuvring. In situations like these, the illumination from the low-beam headlamps is complemented by an addi-tional light source, the Add-Light System with the cornering light function. The Add-Light System operates when corner-ing at speeds up to 70 km/h, while the cornering light function is activated when the turn signal indicator is operated at speeds up to 40 km/h. Activation of these systems is linked to the steering angle.

Start-off AssistIn vehicles with manual transmission, Start-off Assist makes it easier to move off on uphill or downhill slopes. Once the brake pedal has been released, the brake pressure is maintained for approximately two seconds, thus allowing the driver to move his or her foot to the accelerator pedal without having to worry about the vehicle rolling backwards or forwards. The brake pressure is immediately reduced as soon as Start-off Assist detects that the driver wishes to move off.

Automatic tyre pressure monitoringThe automatic tyre pressure monitoring system can help to prevent tyre failure which might have serious consequences. It works by measuring the pressure and temperature at the valves of the four tyres in baseline condition and under changing conditions. Aerials in the wheel arches pick up radio signals carrying the data and relay them to the control unit. The system is able to provide automatic notification of a significant loss of tyre pressure so that the driver can take the appropriate action.

Front driver and co-driver airbagsA driver front airbag and a single or double-sized co-driver front airbag are additional components of the passive safety system. They provide enhanced pro tection for the belted front-seat occupants in a severe frontal collision and act to gether with the seat belts and belt-force limiters as a sup-plementary restraint system.

Caution:Front airbags in no way diminish the need for occupants to fasten their seat belts correctly before every journey as an airbag can only operate fully effec-tively if the occupant is wearing the seat belt correctly.

Glossary

PARKTRONICThe PARKTRONIC parking aid assists the driver when parking and manoeuvring with little room to spare. The system, which operates on the echo sounder principle, automatically warns the driver if it detects that the vehicle is close to an obstacle in front of or behind the vehicle. The warning is provided initially in the form of a visual display in the centre of the instrument panel (when moving forward) and in the ex-terior mirror (when reversing). If the gap continues to decrease, an audible warning is also activated.

“Sound 50 APS” and COMAND APS navigation systemsBoth systems integrate a variety of func-tions such as the radio, CD player, tele-phone with address book and navigation function into a single, compact unit with a clearly organised colour display. Both navigation functions can be operated from the multifunction steering wheel. The relevant information appears both in the system display and also in the central display unit in the instrument cluster, where it can be easily read by the driver.

ECO-Start automatic engine-start functionOnce the driver has activated the system whilst the engine is running, the system switches off the engine automatically under certain conditions as soon as the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds without a gear being engaged or the clutch pedal being pressed. If the clutch is pressed or the vehicle starts moving, the engine is started again automatically.

Electrically operated sliding load compartment doorThis comfort and convenience feature allows the sliding door on the right or left side of the load compartment to be opened and closed electrically at the touch of a button. Safety is the primary consideration: if the opening or closing action is interrupted between the two end points, the door stops wherever it is. Other features include an overload protection/obstruction sensor system and a childproof lock.

Electric closing aidThe electric closing aid assists the user when closing the sliding door on the right or left side of the load compartment. This feature, which comes into operation shortly before the door reaches its end position, is particularly helpful when the van is parked on an uphill slope and greater force is re-quired to close the sliding door. The electric closing aid is already integrated in the scope of the electrically operated sliding load compartment door feature which is available as special equipment.

KEYLESS ENTRY & SLIDEThis driver recognition and door opening/locking system has been specially developed for parcel delivery services and similar applications. With the system activated, the direction from which the driver approaches the vehicle determines whether the sliding door of the load com-partment is opened automatically or the driver’s door is unlocked automatically. Triggering of either response occurs once the driver approaches to within about 5 metres. If the driver moves away from the vehicle, the sliding door of the load compartment closes automatically and the vehicle is locked automatically.

Top left and centre diagrams:

Load restraint is primarily achieved by placing

loads against the front or rear bulkheads and

the sides of the vehicles, and then filling any gaps.

It is also possible to use aids such as braces,

bars, partition nets or cargo barriers (direct load

restraint)

Top right diagram:

Loads can be tied down to the floor using lashings.

This increases friction between load and

floor, preventing slippage (indirect load restraint)

Diesel particulate filterThe new diesel particulate filter from Mercedes-Benz eliminates over 95 percent of particulate emissions. This brings the engines well below the EU4 limit and puts them on a par with petrol engines. A con-tinuous regeneration process prevents the filter from becoming clogged and thus dispenses with the need for fuel additives.

All-wheel driveThe all-wheel-drive system transfers the engine power to the front and rear axles on a 35 : 65 basis. Mechanical locking differ-entials are replaced by the electronic traction system 4ETS. This automatically applies brake pressure to individual, spinning wheels, while simultaneously increasing the torque to wheels with adequate traction. This results in enhanced traction and sta-bility in many situations: on ice, snow or wet leaves, on poor roads, in the wet or when towing a trailer.

All critical exhaust emissions comply with the EURO4 limits (for vehicles registered as trucks) or the EU4/III limits (for vehicles registered as passenger cars). Aftertreat-ment of exhaust gases is handled by oxida-tion catalytic converters and diesel particu-late filters.

Load restraintA number of dynamic forces are gener -ated when a vehicle and load are in transit. These can lead to uncontrolled shifting, slipping, tipping or rolling of unsecured cargo – with the result that the risk of an accident is increased. With their stan-dard load restraint features as well as

numerous optional systems and a compre-hensive range of accessories, Mercedes-Benz vans help operators to secure loads expertly and professionally. Features offered by the Sprinter include standard-fit load-securing rings and a variety of optional bulkheads and lashing rails.

Upholstery and paintworkThe high-quality fabric and/or leatherette upholstery lines for the Sprinter are designed for heavy-duty use. They are easy to care for, hard-wearing and underline the visual elegance of the interior.

Take-back of end-of-life vehicles. Coming full circle At the end of its long life, you can return your Sprinter to us for environment-friendly disposal in accor-

dance with the EC End-Of-Life Vehicle Directive. But that day lies a long way off. The take-back of end-of life vehicles applies in accordance with national

regulations to vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes permissible gross weight. The Sprinter has met the requirements governing the suitability of a vehicle’s design

for reuse and recycling for a number of years now. A network of vehicle take-back depots and dismantlers has been established which will process your

vehicle in an environment-friendly manner. The ways in which both vehicles and parts can be recovered are subject to ongoing development and improve-

ment. Consequently, the Sprinter will be able to comply with any future increases in the recycling quota within the stipulated time limits. Further infor-

mation is available from www.mercedes-benz.com or your national hotline.
