222 STARTING AND OPERATING

Trailer Hitches (Optional)

Only install a trailer hitch receiver approved for your
vehicle. For information
installation, please see your authorized Sprinter
Dealer.
The bumpers on your vehicle are not designed for use
with clamp-type hitches. Do not attach rental hitches
or other bumper-type hitches to them.
To reduce the possibility of damage, remove the hitch
ball adaptor from the receiver when not in use.

Electrical Connections (Optional)

The Sprinter is available with a variety of pre-installed
conditions (lines and turn signal indicator and brake
module installed and/or not installed). Make sure that
the correct trailer hitch receiver kit is used. For further
information, please see your authorized Sprinter
Dealer.
In order to prevent possible damage to the vehicle's
electrical system by incorrectly installing the trailer
wiring plug, we recommend having the harness
connected at an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
