seat deletion. Included in Security Group (AJB) on Cargo Van and Chassis Cab.
*Always use seat belts. Sprinter Cargo and Cab Chassis Vans are equipped only with front seats and should not be used to carry children

system or the seat belt properly positioned, dependent on the child’s age and weight.
