Operating Instructions; Service And Vehicle Operation - Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions Manual

22 General notes
are prescribed by law and must be correct at all
times.
The factory equips the vehicle with a wooden or
plastic cargo compartment floor; this is an inte‐
gral part of the vehicle structure. If you have the
cargo compartment floor removed, the vehicle
body may be damaged. Load securing will then
be impaired and the maximum loading capacity
of the tie-down points will no longer be guaran‐
teed. Therefore, do not have the cargo compart‐
ment floor removed.
Notes on the partition
Without a partition, vehicles that are approved as
commercial vehicles (N1, N2) do not fulfill
ISO 27956, which describes the equipment for
properly securing a load in delivery vehicles. If
the vehicle is used to transport goods, retrofitting
the partition is strongly recommended, as prop‐
erly securing the load in vehicles without a parti‐
tion will always be a complex operation.
