Designed to protect the most important cargo: you.
Beneath the dynamic and stylish shape, things get serious. When it comes to safety, there’s no such
thing as too much. Especially for those whose livelihood is on the road. The Sprinter is built around
a high standard of occupant protection, thanks to our legacy of more than 100 years of pioneering
work in the areas of safety testing, technology and application.
In developing the Sprinter, we needed to offer not just
the driver, but also the co-drivers and passengers a high
degree of protection. A high-strength passenger cell and
front end with defined deformation profiles provide high
levels of safety. In a frontal collision, the two longitudinal
members are designed to absorb energy.
Sprinter is also fitted with the revolutionary ADAPTIVE
system as standard, helping to stabilise the vehicle
ESP
®
in hazardous driving situations. Using Load Adaptive
Control allows the system to take into account the
status of the load being carried in the vehicle and adjust
accordingly to the situation at hand. For securing loads
safely, load-securing rings integrated into the flooring are
also standard equipment.
In the event of any serious collision, the framework
attached to the engine, transmission and front axle
‘gives’, so that the force exerted on the passenger cell is
significantly reduced.
Safety features at a glance:
• ADAPTIVE ESP Electronic Stability Program in
®
combination with Antilock Braking System (ABS),
Acceleration Skid Control (ASR) and Brake Assist (BAS)
to help improve crash avoidance
In a side impact, the B-pillar and the door sill (which is
braced by the A-pillar) also help to absorb energy. Fullsize
driver and front passenger airbags are fitted as standard
and window airbags and thorax airbags are also available

airbags and thorax airbags are available as optional

Adaptive Brake Lights for emergency situations
New to the 2010 range is the Adaptive Brake Light
warning system. In the case of emergency braking at
a speed above 50km/h, the Adaptive Brake Lights are
activated by the ESP system. The brake lights will flash
during the emergency brake situation. The flashing
brake lights give drivers following behind you greater
warning in an emergency braking situation. As soon as
the emergency brake situation is over, ESP will deactivate
the Adaptive Brake Lights and the brake lighting becomes
static as usual. If emergency braking is required at
speeds of over 70km/h ESP again activates the Adaptive
Brake Lights and keeps them on until the vehicle comes
to a complete stop where the hazard lights will also be
switched on automatically. The hazard light can then be
switched off manually or the system will switch them off
automatically as soon as the vehicle speed goes above
10km/h.
• Three-point seat belts on all seats with belt tensioners
and belt force limiters for driver and co-driver. Head
restraints standard on all seats
• Both exterior mirrors have integral wide-angle auxiliary
mirrors
• Bulb failure indicator
• Optional Bi-Xenon headlamps with cornering light

• Rain and light sensor (automatic headlamp and wiper
activation) available optionally

• Start-off Assist system allows for easier hill-start on
steep inclines (available on automatic vehicles only)
*Option available at extra cost. Vehicles shown may have non-standard options and colours available at extra cost.
