Diesel fuels containing a higher percenta-
ge of Bio diesel content will cause damage
to your engine and are not approved.
Damage or malfunctions resulting from
poor fuel quality are not covered by the
Sprinter Warranty.
CAUTION
!
The exhaust aftertreatment device
(DPF) will be seriously damaged if you
use
LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL
FUEL (500 ppm SULFUR MAXI-
MUM)
any other diesel fuel with a sulfur
6
content of above 15 ppm
any other diesel fuel with a Bio die-
sel content of above 5%
any other diesel fuel with a Bio die-
sel content up to 5%, which does
not meet the above mentioned
standards

tact your authorized Sprinter Dealer.
i
Commercially available vehicular
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIE-
SEL FUEL may contain up to 5% bio die-
sel. This proportion will not have an
effect on performance and wear.
DaimlerChrysler USA now approves the
use of B5 bio diesel (standard diesel with a
maximum of up to 5% bio diesel content)
in all Common Rail Injection Diesel
"CDI-engines." Diesel fuels containing a
higher percentage of bio diesel content will
cause damage to your engine and are not
approved.
As bio diesel can be refined from a variety of
raw materials resulting in widely varying
properties, the only approved bio diesel
content is one that meets ASTM D6751
specification. It must also have the neces-
sary oxidation stability (min. 6h, proved with
EN 14112 method) to prevent damages to
the system from deposits and/or corrosion.
Please ask your service station for further
information. If the B5 bio diesel blend is
not sufficiently labeled to clearly indicate
that it meets the above standards, please
do not use it. The DaimlerChrysler limited
warranty does not cover damage caused
by the use of fuels not meeting
DaimlerChrysler approved fuel standards.

tact your authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Diesel fuels for use at very low tempera-
tures
Only use commercially available vehicular
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL
(15 ppm SULFUR MAXIMUM).
To prevent malfunctions, diesel fuel with
improved cold flow characteristics is offe-
red in the winter months. Check with your
fuel retailer.
At very low temperatures the fluidity of
No. 2 diesel fuel may become insufficient
due to paraffin separation. For this reason
the vehicle comes equipped with a fuel
preheater. It permits trouble-free engine
operation to a temperature of approxi-
mately 14 °F (–10 °C).
