WARNING
Always have work on the engine electronics
and related components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. Otherwise, the vehi-
cle's operating safety could be affected.
! Only have engine electronics and the cor-
responding parts, such as control units,
sensors or connector leads, serviced in a
qualified specialist workshop. Otherwise,
the vehicle parts may wear more quickly.
This can lead to loss of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Installing electrical or electronic
equipment

WARNING
You and others may damage your health due
to excessive electromagnetic radiation. By
using an external antenna, the possible health
risks of electromagnetic fields, which are
under discussion among the scientific com-
munity, should be largely prevented.
Therefore, only have the exterior antenna
installed at a qualified specialist workshop.
Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effect on both the comfort and
the operating safety of the vehicle. If equip-
ment of this kind is installed, its electromag-
netic compatibility must be checked and veri-
fied.
If these devices are linked to functions asso-
ciated with resistance to interference, they
must have type approval. This applies to the
device or its interfaces to the vehicle elec-
tronics, e.g. charging brackets.
A telephone or two-way radio to be installed in
the vehicle must be approved. Further infor-
mation can be obtained from any Sprinter
Dealer.
For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, Mercedes Benz recommends connec-
tion to an approved exterior antenna. This is
the only way to ensure optimum reception
quality inside the vehicle and to minimize
mutual interference between the vehicle elec-
tronics, mobile phones and two-way radios.
The transmission output of the mobile phone
or two-way radio may not exceed the follow-
ing maximum transmission output (PEAK):
