There is a malfunction if the # indica-
tor lamp is permanently lit while the en-
gine is running (

୴ page 468).

If ESP

®

malfunctions, engine power out-

put may be reduced.

ASR improves traction for a sustained
period, i.e. the transfer of power from
the tires to the road surface, and thus
also improves the driving stability of the
vehicle. ASR assists you when pulling
away and accelerating, especially on
smooth and slippery surfaces.

ASR brakes individual drive wheels and
limits the engine torque to prevent the
drive wheels from spinning. When ASR
intervenes, the v indicator lamp in
the speedometer flashes.

!

CAUTION

Only operate the vehicle briefly (max-
imum of 10 seconds) on a brake dy-
namometer. The key must be turned
to position 1 in the ignition lock dur-
ing this time. You could damage the
drive train or the brake system.

!

CAUTION

Do not operate the vehicle on a roller
dynamometer (for example for per-
formance testing). If you wish to op-
erate the vehicle on a roller
dynamometer, please consult an au-
thorized Sprinter Dealer beforehand.
You could otherwise damage the
drive train or the brake system.
