Mercedes-Benz Sprinter / Dodge Sprinter. Manual — part 171
Do not blend other specific fuel additives with die-
sel fuel. They only result in unnecessary cost, and
may be harmful to the engine operation.
POWER STEERING FLUID
No fluid service required. Filled with Power Steer-
ing Fluid approved to MB 236.3, such as Mobil
ATF-D (Exxon Mobil Corporation) or equivalent.
OPERATION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
The automatic transmission fluid is selected based
upon several qualities. The fluid must provide a high
level of protection for the internal components by
providing a lubricating film between adjacent metal
components. The fluid must also be thermally stable
so that it can maintain a consistent viscosity through
a large temperature range. If the viscosity stays con-
stant through the temperature range of operation,
transmission operation and shift feel will remain con-
sistent. Transmission fluid must also be a good con-
ductor of heat. The fluid must absorb heat from the
internal transmission components and transfer that
heat to the transmission case.

TOWING
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TOWING
WARNING: Do not tow the vehicle if the key cannot
be turned in the ignition lock. If the key cannot be
turned, the ignition lock remains locked and the
vehicle cannot be steered. With the engine not run-
ning there is no power assistance for the braking
and steering systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher degree of
effort is necessary to brake and steer the vehicle.
The vehicle must not be towed with the front axle
raised and the key in position 2 in the ignition lock
as the drive wheels could then lock due to the
acceleration skid control (ASR)
If the Engine is Damaged
For towing distances up to 30 miles (about 50
km)
• Shift selector lever in “N” position.
• Do not exceed a towing speed of 30 m.p.h. (50
km/h).
For towing distances greater than 30 mile
(about 50 km)
• Remove the propeller shafts leading to the drive
axles. The vehicle can be towed without restriction.
If the Transmission is Damaged
• Remove the propeller shafts leading to the drive
axles. The vehicle can be towed without restriction.
If the Front Axle is Damaged
• Raise the front axle.
• Observe the same towing restrictions as for
engine damage.
If the Rear Axle is Damaged
• Raise the rear axle.
NOTE: Comply with local legal regulations regard-
ing towing vehicles.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: The following safety precautions must be
observed when towing a vehicle.
• Secure loose and protruding parts.
• Always use a safety chain system that is inde-
pendent of the lifting and towing equipment.
• Do not allow towing equipment to contact the
disabled vehicle’s fuel tank.
• Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle
while it is lifted by the towing device.
• Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle
being towed.
• Always observe state and local laws regarding
towing regulations.
• Do not tow a vehicle in a manner that could
jeopardize the safety of the operator, pedestrians or
other motorists.
• Do not attach tow chains, T-hooks, J-hooks, or a
tow sling to a bumper, steering linkage, drive shafts
or a non-reinforced frame hole.
• Remove exhaust pipe tips that interfere with the
tow sling and crossbar
• Padding should be placed between the tow sling/
crossbar and any painted surfaces
• When placing tow hooks on the rear axle, posi-
tion them so they do not damage the brake tubing or
hoses
• Do not tow the vehicle by connecting to the front
or rear shock absorbers
• Do not tow a heavily loaded vehicle. Damage to
the vehicle may result. Use a flatbed device to trans-
port a loaded vehicle.
GROUND CLEARANCE
CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed,
install lug nuts to retain brake drums.
A towed vehicle should be raised until lifted wheels
are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground. Be
sure there is adequate ground clearance at the oppo-
site end of the vehicle, especially when towing over
rough terrain, steep rises in the road or if the vehicle
is equipped with air dams, spoilers, and/or ground

effect panels. If necessary, remove the wheels from
the lifted end of the vehicle and lower the vehicle
closer to the ground, to increase the ground clearance
at the opposite end of the vehicle. Install lug nuts on
wheel attaching studs to retain brake drums.
RAMP ANGLE
If a vehicle with flat-bed towing equipment is used,
the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15
degrees.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When the vehicle is locked and keys are not avail-
able, use a flat bed hauler. A Wheel-lift or Sling-type
device can be used provided all the wheels are lifted
off the ground using tow dollies.
