			Digital tachograph The tachograph registers the routes and vehicle speed for two drivers and automatically warns them if the permissible driving time is about to be exceeded. The recorded data can be printed via an integrated printer or downloaded with the download interface. In accordance with EC directive 3820/85, a tachograph is mandatory for the commercial use of vehicles with a gross train weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes. All vehicles can be retrofitted with a tachograph. A provision for the retrofitting is also available.

Engines, running gear and drives


			Shiftmatic This automated manual gearbox offers the comfort of an automatic gearbox, but is the significantly more favourable version regarding fuel consumption. Always on board: the hill holder, which makes driving on an uphill incline as easy as child’s play. Shiftmatic is available for the 80 kW* and 100 kW engine.*
	Final drive ratios The choice of final drive ratio determines whether your Crafter is optimally aligned to suit its intended purpose. Those who frequently travel on motorways or dual carriageways are bound to have different requirements than a person who drives on mountainous terrain. The Crafter is therefore available with a choice of five final drive ratios ranging from 3.923:1 to 5.1:1. Higher ratios offer better pulling-power for driving uphill or when towing a trailer while smaller ratios lower the rotation speed of the engine, which leads to a reduction in fuel consumption. Please refer to the technical data for information on the final drive ratios available for the different engine types. Thanks to the wide range of options, you are sure to find the ideal ratio for your Crafter.

BlueMotionTechnologies


			Engine start-stop system Once the driver brings the vehicle to a stop, switches to neutral and releases the clutch, the activated start-stop system automatically turns the engine off. A corresponding yellow start-stop signal lights up on the instrument panel. It starts the engine back up when the driver applies pressure to the clutch again. The start-stop system reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
	Start-stop package This comprises the fuel and cost saving engine start-stop system, a tyre pressure monitoring display that lights up when the tyre pressure drops, cruise control to set and automatically maintain the desired speed, and a seat belt warning so that your journey is not only fuel-efficient, but safe, too.
			Crafter BlueTDI Only our most economical diesels are awarded the BlueTDI label. They fulfil the Euro V emission standard thanks to AdBlue technology and a gearbox with long gear ratios.

Safety


			Electronic anti-theft warning system A warning signal is automatically triggered in the event of unauthorised entry. This system is also available with interior monitoring as an option.
	Tyre pressure monitoring display It activates a warning signal to report changes in pressure in any of the four tyres. This lets the driver know that the tyre pressure should be checked as soon as possible.
			Load securing net It can be used for the professional and safe transportation of heavy and bulky goods. This lashing net facilitates fast loading and unloading and can be secured and released in a few easy steps thanks to its ingenious tensioning system.
			Lashing rails Robust metal rails can be ordered for the load compartment floor, side panels and roof frame to optimally secure your load. The lashing rails on the floor are bolted to the body and are only available in conjunction with a wooden floor. The lashing rails on the side panels are located on the window cappings and below the roof frame.
			Fog lights They provide optimal visibility in poor weather conditions and therefore ensure the highest level of safety. The fog lights are integrated in the bumpers.
			Emergency escape There is a 530 x 970 mm hatch made of safety glass in the roof of the passenger compartment. It can easily be opened in case of an emergency and can also be raised diagonally on either side (front and back) to provide additional ventilation. (May result in longer delivery periods.)
			Roof-mounted indicators The roof-mounted indicators at the rear of the vehicle make a significant contribution to road safety. Please note that this will raise the vehicle height by 60 mm.
	Reversing warning signal An audible warning signal is triggered when reverse gear is engaged.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning


			Auxiliary air heater (2 kW/3.5 kW) Equipped with a timer and air vents in the load/passenger compartment, the auxiliary air heater has an output of 3.5 kW for the Delivery Van and Kombi, and 2 kW for the Dropside Van with double cab. The interior is heated up very quickly via recirculated air and a separate fan. The auxiliary air heater is ideal for vehicles that are stationary for long periods such as building site vehicles, hotel shuttles, etc. The vents are in the load/passenger compartment on the Delivery Van and Kombi. On the Dropside Van with double cab, air flows from the seat base in the second row footwell. The temperature and switch-on times can be programmed via a timer. The maximum heating period that can be selected is 120 minutes.
	Supplementary water heater (5 kW) This additional heater, which runs on diesel fuel, supports the vehicle’s heating system when the engine is running in order to reach higher temperatures faster. In addition, the optional auxiliary heater function of this water heater enables the vehicle to be pre-heated for a period of 60 minutes prior to starting your journey. A radio wave remote control is also available upon demand so that you can conveniently switch the auxiliary heater on or off from the comfort of your home or office.
	Supplementary water heater (10 kW) Heat output can be increased to 10 kW through a second, supplementary heater which runs on diesel fuel. This facilitates rapid heating of the load/passenger compartment even at very low outside temperatures. The supplementary water heater is ideal when combined with the options of a floor-mounted air duct and second heat exchanger. One of the two heaters can be operated as an auxiliary heater (heat output of 5 kW) when the engine is switched off. The maximum pre-heating time is 60 minutes and can be programmed via the instrument cluster or multi-function steering wheel.
	Auxiliary air heater with supplementary water heater (5 kW) The fuel-powered auxiliary air heater with timer heats the air flowing into the vehicle directly and can heat up the load/passenger compartment very quickly via the air vents. In addition to the heating comfort of the auxiliary heater, a supplementary water heater supports the vehicle’s heating system when the engine is running to ensure comfortable heating of the interior during the journey. This heating system is available with radio wave remote control as an option for the Delivery Van and Kombi.
	Second heat exchanger In conjunction with the supplementary water heaters already described, it assures an optimal distribution of air current and therefore heat when the engine is running. The air vents are in the load/passenger compartment.
	Supplementary electric air heater This supplementary heater serves to optimise the heating comfort at the front of the vehicle, particularly for the front windscreen. It ensures fast heating during the cold start phase and significantly improved de-icing of the windows.
	Footwell vents The heated air is distributed in the passenger compartment via a floor-mounted air duct between the driver’s and the front passenger single seat with a footwell vent to offer ideal comfort to the first row of seats.
			“Climatic” air conditioning system The temperature and air current can be adjusted manually on this mechanical model. An integral dust and pollen filter keeps the air in the interior pure. A digital exterior temperature display, which can also be ordered separately, is available with the air conditioning system. A second evaporator on the roof for the passenger compartment is also available upon demand.
			Air conditioning system for the passenger compartment In case the Crafter is used for professional passenger transportation, the passenger compartment can also be air-conditioned. The vents are under the headlining, the second evaporator is fitted on the roof in a space-saving manner.
			Seat heating The seat heating is integrated in the seat and backrest surfaces and can be separately adjusted for the driver’s seat and the front passenger seat. There is a choice of two heating settings when the ignition is switched on.
