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 increased 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 2560 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.

This version offers additional passenger seating – 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 Sprinter Dua-liner also offers first-class comfort for second-row passengers.

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 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 instrument panel that takes design, mate-rials quality and ergonomics to new levels. Numerous convenience features also have important benefits for active safety, for example by allowing the driver to de -vote more attention to the road and traffic.

Convincing on the road – and on the balance sheet tooCost-effectiveness is the foundation on which your business is built – and one of the underlying virtues of the Sprinter’s success. That’s why our engineers paid particular attention during development to keeping your costs low, creating a reliable, durable vehicle with frugal yet powerful engines – with the option of the fuel-saving ECO-Start¹⁾ automatic engine-start function. If you often have to work in difficult conditions, we recommend the optional all-wheel drive system²⁾, which comes with 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. Fuel consump-tion in the already very economical 4-cyl -inder CDI diesel engines with manual trans -mission can be reduced even further still by specifying the optional ECO-Start¹⁾ auto-matic engine-start function.

The ASSYST service computer helps to reduce service costs: it allows flexible oil change intervals of at least 24,000 miles/40,000 km or every two years on average for the diesel vehicles, depending on application. Longer intervals are also pos-sible, depending on the intensity of vehicle usage and driving style

18 Safety

The Sprinter’s Adaptive ESP® system, which takes account of the vehicle load, repre-sents 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 standards.

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

▯ Lockable glove compartmentThe lockable and illuminated glove compartment provides plenty of space for the safe stowage of documents and personal items.

○ Driver and passenger armrestsThe angle-adjustable armrests enhance comfort and relaxation, particularly on long journeys.

20 Standard and optional equipment

▯ Cockpit stowageGenerous stowage includes plenty of handy storage space (e.g. compartment above the windscreen) and several cup holders.

▯ Stowage facilities in the driver and passenger doorsThe spacious compartments in the interior panelling on the driver and passenger doors each provide plenty of room for a 1.5-litre bottle.

○ Full-height load compartment trim, plywoodPlywood panelling protects the metal surfaces from damage, e.g. due to shifting loads, right up to roof level.

○ Half-height load-compartment trimHalf-height wood hardboard panels trimmed with grey PVC sheeting protect the metal surfaces from damage, e.g. due to shifting loads, and enhance the appearance of the load compartment.

○ Waistline lashing railsIn conjunction with load-securing straps, the sidewall lashing rails can be used to secure medium-height bulky cargo.

○ Load-securing systemLashing rails fitted flush with the floor are a fast and simple means of restraining cargo of varying sizes.

21


▯ Full steel bulkheadThe bulkhead protects the driver and passenger from shifting loads.

○ Bulkhead with windowOptionally, the bulkhead can be fitted with a window, allowing the driver to keep an eye on the load compartment.

○ Bulkhead with aluminium sliding doorThe bulkhead reduces the risk of injury to driver and passenger from shifting loads. The aluminium sliding door provides direct access from the driver’s section into the load compartment and is a valuable time-saver in the courier, express and parcel services sector.

▯ Wooden floor and load-securing ringsThe load-securing rings (tested to DIN standard 75410) are used in conjunction with optional straps to prevent the load from shifting.

▯ Dual passenger seatProvides seating for a third person in the driver’s section. The table function provides an additional storage surface; the seat base can be used as a stowage compartment.

○ Lashing rails under roof frameIn conjunction with load-securing straps, the lashing rails under the roof frame can be used to secure tall, bulky cargo.


▯ Side rub stripsWide plastic strips help to prevent minor damage to the bodywork.

○ Electric tilting/sliding glass sunroof (cab)Improves air circulation inside the vehicle and makes the interior appear even larger and even more light and airy; with integrated sunblind. The optional convenience opening/closing functions are integrated in the remote locking system.

○ Steering wheel adjustable for height and reachThe extensive adjustment capabilities ensure that drivers of different sizes quickly find a seating position to suit them.

▯ Power-assisted steeringThe power-assisted steering assists manoeuvring.

○ Reversing cameraWhen reverse gear is engaged, the reversing camera sends images of the area behind the vehicle to a 7-inch monitor. In this way, the system makes parking and manoeuvring easier and safer (display also possible via COMAND APS).

23

○ Towbar (ball-type)Both rigid and detachable ball-head towbars are available, with 13-pin trailer socket.

○ Rear stepA special rear step is available, for vehicles with or without trailer coupling.


○ Bi-xenon headlamps including Add-Light System and cornering light functionBetter illumination of the area immediately to the side of the vehicle enhances safety, especially on tight bends, at junctions and when manoeuvring.

○ “Sound 50 APS” Radio CD/navigation systemReliable route guidance and state-of-the-art multimedia functions in a single unit: 4.9" TFT colour display with arrow-type navigation for the whole of Europe, CD player, dynamic route guidance and much more.

▯ Driver front airbag*When combined with a fastened seatbelt, the driver front airbag provides enhanced protection in frontal collisions.

○ Front passenger airbag*A front passenger airbag is also available for both single and dual passenger seat.

*Not in conjunction with V6 CDI engine, automatic transmission and start-off assist


▯ “Sound 5” Radio CDFunctional radio with clearly legible dot-matrix display, FM/AM tuner with RDS and MP3-compatible CD player. A CD changer is available as an ex factory option and connections for an external audio source (e.g. MP3 player) are available as part of the accessories range.

○ ECO-Start* automatic engine-start functionA convenient automatic engine-start function is available for vehicles with 4-cylinder CDI diesel engine and manual transmission. Under certain condi-tions, the system switches off the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill and starts it again when requested by the driver. Fuel consumption, noise and exhaust emissions are therefore reduced significantly.

Glossary

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 applying 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 (optional equipment).

Caution:ADAPTIVE ESP® can only act within the laws of physics. It is therefore impossi -ble for ADAPTIVE ESP® to prevent skid-ding resulting from aqua planing, 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 simulator, our research engineers established that drivers do not apply the brakes vigorously 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 emergency braking is required. In such a situation the system automatically increases braking power, aided by the anti-lock braking sys-tem (ABS) which prevents the wheels from locking up.

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 inter venes in the engine management to reduce engine power and also in the brak-ing system to prevent wheel spin. ASR ensures smooth start-off and acceleration, without wheel spin or sideways drift. The result is improved traction – and safety – particularly on split-friction or slippery surfaces.

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 driving situations. In this way the system prevents “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.

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.

Windowbags and thorax bagsThe Sprinter can be equipped with driver and passenger 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 outside bol-sters of the seat backrests, thorax bags are designed to provide increased protection for the thorax of the seat occupant.

Bi-xenon headlamps with Add-Light System and cornering light functionConventional headlamps fail to provide sufficient 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 cornering at speeds up to 40 mph, while the cornering light function is activated when the turn signal indicator is operated at speeds up to 20 mph. Activation of these systems is linked to the steering angle.

39

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 tempera-ture at the valves of the four tyres in base-line condition and under changing con-ditions. 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.

Driver and passenger airbagsA driver front airbag and a single or double-sized passenger front airbag are additional components of the passive safety system. They provide enhanced protection for the belted front-seat occupants in a severe frontal collision and act together 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 prin-ciple, 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 exterior 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 inter-rupted between the two end points, the door stops wherever it is. Other features in-clude 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 short-ly before the door reaches its end position, is particularly helpful when the van is parked on an uphill slope and greater force is required to close the sliding door.

Keyless Entry & SlideThis driver recognition and door opening/locking system has been specially devel-oped for parcel delivery services and simi-lar applications. With the system activated, the direction from which the driver ap-proaches the vehicle determines whether the sliding door of the load compartment 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.

Load restraintA number of dynamic forces are generated 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 standard load restraint features as well as numerous

optional systems and a comprehensive range of accessories, Mercedes-Benz vans help operators to secure loads expertly and professionally. Features offered by the Sprinter include standard-fit wood floor, load-securing rings and a bulkhead and optional lashing rails.

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 legislated limit and puts them on a par with petrol engines. A continuous regeneration process prevents the filter from becoming clogged and thus dispenses with the need for fuel additives.

41

CDI diesel engines (EURO 4/EU4)The Sprinter range features diesel engines with the latest generation of CDI technology. 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 par-ticulate filters.

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

Upholstery and paintworkThe high-quality 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 -

d ance with the EU 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 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 improvement. Conse-

quently, the Sprinter will be able to comply with any future increases in the recycling quota within the stipulated time limits. Further information is avail-

able from www.mbvans.co.uk or your national hotline.
