Registering your vehicle
Mercedes-Benz may ask its authorized Sprinter
dealers to carry out technical inspections on
certain vehicles. This is always the case if the
quality or safety of the vehicle is improved as a
result of the inspection. Mercedes-Benz can
only inform you about vehicle checks if it has
your registration data.
Your registration data is not stored if:
R
you did not purchase your vehicle at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer
R
your vehicle has never been inspected at an
authorized Sprinter Dealer
It is advisable to register your vehicle with an
authorized Sprinter Dealer. Inform an author-
ized Sprinter dealer as soon as possible about
any change of address or vehicle ownership.
Attachments, bodies, equipment and
conversions
Information about body/equipment
mounting directives
!
For safety reasons, have add-on equipment
manufactured and installed according to the
Sprinter body/equipment mounting direc-
tives in force. These body/equipment mount-
ing directives ensure that the chassis and the
body form one unit and that maximum oper-
ating and road safety is achieved.
We recommend for safety reasons that:
R
you carry out no other modifications to the
vehicle.
R
you obtain the agreement of the distributor
named on the inside of the front cover for
any deviations from the approved body/
equipment mounting directives.
Approval from certified inspection agencies
or official approvals cannot rule out risks to
your safety.
