Preface
Dear reader,
This Introduction into Service manual presents the
principal changes and new features in the Sprinter
LGT with engine M271 which can be operated with
liquefied petroleum gas or gasoline.
The purpose of this manual is to acquaint you with the
technical highlights of the Sprinter LGT in advance of
its market launch. This brochure is intended to provide
information for people employed in service, maintenance and repair as well as for aftersales staff. It is
assumed here that the reader is already familiar with
the Mercedes-Benz model series currently on the
market.
The contents of this Introduction into Service manual
focus on new features that have never been used in
any other model series before.
Features that already exist in other model series are
not covered in this brochure.
i Note
Further information on workshop equipment, commercially available tools and special tools can be found on
the internet at: http://gotis.aftersales.mercedes-benz.com
This Introduction into Service manual is available in electronic form on Release 10/2010 of the Star
Diagnosis CD in SDmedia.

Overview
Brief description
Vehicle concept
From November 2010 the Sprinter of model
series 906 will be available with an engine which can
be operated with either liquefied petroleum gas or
gasoline.
The following body variants are available in left-hand
and right-hand drive versions:
Cab (FHS/FHL)
Panel van (FKA)
Crewbus (FKB)
At present these body variants can only be combined
with two wheelbases as 3.5 t versions:
3665 mm (R2)
4325 mm (R3)
i Note
The LGT (Liquefied Gas Technology) Sprinter is
equipped with a liquefied petroleum gas system
as per ECE-R 67. For this reason the vehicle may
only be operated with liquefied petroleum gas or
with gasoline, otherwise the engine will be
damaged.
Liquefied Gas Technology is a drive technology
with an extremely low pollutant emission level on
the basis of fossil fuels.
Reduced CO2 emissions
Compliance with the limits for pollutant
emissions as per EURO 5 in gasoline and gas
operation
Reduced noise emissions compared to diesel
engines
Overview
Payload reduction
The filled gas cylinder reduces the payload of the
vehicle by approx. 85 kg. An additional 15 kg is
required for the other LGT components.

Notes on maintenance
The maintenance and service requirements of LPG
vehicles are generally identical to those of gasolinefueled models.
However, the maintenance and repair of gas systems
for LPG operation require specially trained workshop
staff. Various associations offer training courses in
which expertise specific to the product and fuel
system is taught.
Maintenance service every 30,000 km, or every
15,000 km in heavy service
Oil Service Plus: Engine oil change (M 271 LGT)
every 30,000 km with oils as per Sheets 229.5 and
229.51
Replace gas filter element in gas filter every
30,000 km

i Note
Work on components that do not form part of the
LGT equipment may be carried out by any trained
professional.

Engine management
Notes on diagnosis
The LGT interface control unit can be diagnosed via
DAS
The ME-SFI control unit is flashable
No additional external diagnostic tools are required
System access and diagnosis options are the same
as for the Vaneo, Vito and Viano
The diagnosis software is available as of DVD 01/
2011
All electronic components can be actuated via
diagnosis

i Note
LPG cylinders must be protected against flying
sparks during welding work.
LPG cylinders are not available as
reconditioned parts.
Damaged LPG cylinders must be replaced.
Used LPG cylinders that have not been flushed
out, as well as filled LPG cylinders, must
always be identified as hazardous goods for
transportation.
LPG cylinders are to be returned to the
Mannheim plant (W20).
LPG cylinders may only be replaced complete with
valve.
