The Vito concept
The Vito. Nothing fits your business better
Whether you opt for one of the three economical, high-torque CDI diesels
State-of-the-art automotive technology, plenty of space and a high level of comfort – the Vito offers all this under one stylish roof. With its impressive range of variants, wide spectrum of applications and excellent ride and interior comfort, it is uniquely qualified to fit your usage profile, your business and your specific transport needs. And because we believe in taking things to their logical conclusion, you’ll find that the Vito is not only practical and economical, but also very enjoyable to drive. So you can count on the Vito to help with employee motivation and satisfaction, too.
or either of the exceptionally smooth V6 petrol engines, you can always be sure of a superb driving experience in the Vito

Comfort is also a question of individuality The Vito crewbus/minibus stands out from the crowd thanks to its attractively designed body with its outstanding Cd value of 0.33 (with standard roof). Take a closer look, and you’ll find that it has never been easier to configure the ideal solution for your particular transport needs. Because the Vito defines how state-of-the-art vehicle technology can be applied to the commercial sector to produce a wide range of variants capable of meeting highly specific requirements. Take the engines, for example. No less than five high-performance powerplants are available: three CDI diesels with outputs from 65 to 110 kW (88 to 150 hp) and two petrol units which develop 140 and 170 kW (190 and 231 hp) respectively. You can also choose from three different body lengths: n the compact Vito (overall length 4.75 m/ wheelbase 3200 mm)
the long Vito (4.99 m /3200 mm) n the extra-long Vito (5.22 m /3430 mm) Numerous variant seating layouts are available in every body length, as is an optional seat-rail system with a quickrelease function. In fact the Vito has a solution for practically every transport requirement in this vehicle category. n
Good ideas for your passengers – and your business The Vito comes fully equipped to provide a pleasant travelling environment for up to nine occupants* – complete with luggage. The favourable first impression created by the low access/loading height, which makes boarding and loading particularly easy, is confirmed by the high-quality interior panelling and the comprehensive range of comfort features on board. Driving pleasure is guaranteed by the newly developed chassis and the rear-wheeldrive layout which ensure
dynamic, neutral handling at all times. Power-assisted steering is standard, as is the Electronic Stability Program (ESP ) which is complemented by anti-lock braking (ABS), acceleration skid control (ASR), electronic brake force distribution (EBV) and Brake Assist (BAS), thereby enhancing driving safety significantly. The Vito follows in the long tradition of Mercedes-Benz vans by offering not only superb handling, exemplary cargo volume and an ergonomically designed interior, but also the highest levels of reliability, safety and economy. The key factors which contribute to the latter include significantly longer maintenance intervals and the standard ASSYST maintenance computer, thanks to which you can look forward to reassuringly low maintenance costs. Because fitting your business also means fitting your balance sheet. * For the Asian markets, a special 11-seater crewbus is also available ex factory
The right crewbus/ minibus for every application: the Vito is available in three different body lengths
Everything in sight, everything within reach: the well-organised, ergonomically designed cockpit features a joystick-type shift/selector lever which is integrated in the instrument panel to provide even easier access to the co-driver side and the rear of the vehicle
Superior accommodation for up to nine occupants: the Vito looks after its driver and passengers with comfortable seats and generous amounts of space
Fitted as standard, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP ) enhances active safety in hazardous situations through precisely metered braking of one or more wheels

The Vito crewbus / minibus
A real capacity for hard work Whether you spend most of your time carrying passengers or mainly transport equipment and materials, you can count on your Vito crewbus / minibus to get the job done efficiently and professionally. Its flexible interior concept allows the spacious passenger accommodation to be transformed into a large load compartment in next to no time.
Ideal for ladders, planks and other unwieldy items: the TOP LOAD equipment package comprises basic carrier bars for the roof, a ladder rack, roller and cargo-lashing straps

Stay flexible One of the Vito’s most valuable characteristics is its ability to adapt quickly to different situations, an attribute which is largely due to the flexible seating concept. An optional twin co-drivers’ seat can be specified instead of the single version. Optional luxury seats or electrically adjustable luxury seats are also available as alternatives to the standard driver and co-driver seats. The passenger compartment can be equipped with various combinations of seat rows which are designed for quick installation and removal and which can be adjusted longitudinally thanks to an optional floor-rail system. In the case of the extra-long Vito, for example, it’s reassuring to know that you can call on the maximum loading length of 3.10 m (incl. through-loading facility) and the maximum
cargo area of 3.57 m2 (with rear seats removed) if you ever have to transport a large or unwieldy load. And of course we have thought of the details, too: a combined luggage cover and retaining net is available, as is a luggage retention grille behind the last row of seats or a luggage net on the D-pillar.

The Vito crewbus / minibus
Talented all-rounder The Vito lends itself to such a wide range of uses that you’ll find it the ideal vehicle for both work and leisure. Its flexible seating concept is just one of many strengths which include a generous amount of interior space, a wide sliding side door (which can be complemented by an optional sliding door on the driver’s side), a large tailgate or, if required, hinged rear doors. And because the Vito cares about your passengers, too, it offers them excellent interior appointments and ride comfort – but then, given its distinguished heritage, what else would you expect?
Now you can upgrade everyone to business class Although crewbuses/minibuses in the segment up to 3 t GVW have to meet some tough requirements – whether they’re being used by car-hire companies, taxi firms, tour operators, as shuttle vehicles, school buses or for the provision of social services – you can count on the Vito to rise to the challenge with great panache. Having boarded the Vito easily through the wide-opening sliding side door, the passengers find themselves in the attractive, fully panelled interior which can be individualised with numerous equipment options – such as a front sliding /tilting glass sunroof, a rear panoramic roof, an additional sliding door on the driver’s side or an air conditioning system for the rear section of the vehicle (available in combination with a cockpit air conditioning system). The driver, too, can look forward to an extremely enjoyable trip: every kilometre is a pleasure and turning, manoeuvring and parking the 1.90 m wide vehicle (2.24 m including
mirrors) is remarkably easy. The Vito’s standard powerassisted steering and conveniently small turning circles of 11.80 m (compact /long version) and 12.50 m (extralong version) contribute to its good manoeuvrability and excellent handling. The BIKE equipment package A handy extra feature for your cyclist passengers: the BIKE equipment package comprises a rear carrier for 2 bicycles (incl. repeater lights and single socket) and a high-quality bicycle tool kit. And of course this package is also ideal if you want to use your Vito crewbus/minibus for leisure purposes.

Variants
If you’re looking for it, we’ve got it Comprising no less than two wheelbases, three body lengths and a selection of door variants, the Vito range allows you to configure vehicles which are capable of handling the most diverse transport jobs and load situations in the class up to 3 tonnes. With its 475 exceptionally dynamic and manoeuvrable centimetres, the compact Vito measures up admirably when it comes to coping with difficult entrances, tight parking spaces and congested city centres. The long Vito has the same 3200 mm wheelbase but a 245 mm longer rear overhang – all of which benefits the luggage space without impacting the vehicle’s handling or manoeuvrability. The extra-long Vito, which features an extended 3430 mm wheelbase, quite simply offers a vast amount of space.

Delivering the feel-good factor Given its excellent performance in every other respect, it comes as no surprise to find that the Vito easily meets the highest standards with regard to interior design and equipment levels in the crewbus/minibus segment. The spaciousness and bright, welcoming look of the driver’s area strike you the moment you open the driver’s door while the low access height is a particularly welcome feature on runs which involve frequent stops. Inside you’ll find that the comfortable driver’s and co-driver’s seats offer numerous adjustment options and feature height-adjustable head restraints right from the standard version. Optional luxury seats and seat heating or the fully electrically adjustable luxury seats can be specified for even greater comfort. Two different twin codrivers’ bench seats are also available as options.
Everything in sight, everything within reach: the cockpit You instantly feel at home aboard the new Vito. The pleasing cockpit, with its horizontally divided instrument panel – the upper section of which has a soft-touch surface – is characterised by high-quality materials and the logical layout of the functional elements. Foremost in the driver’s field of vision is a newly designed instrument cluster with large and easily legible dials and displays. All the controls are positioned logically in accordance with ergonomic principles – including, of course, the joystick-type shift /selector lever which is integrated in the instrument panel for particularly comfortable operation and to permit easy access to the side and rear. Numerous well thought-out stowage facilities provide handy accommodation for a mobile phone, drinks, the vehicle logbook, pens, documents and A 4 clipboards – all within easy reach of the driver.

Comfort, handling and practicality
Welcome to a world of almost endless possibilities
14
It is only natural that you and your passengers should expect exceptionally high standards of practicality, ergonomics and comfort from a Mercedes-Benz crewbus /minibus. In fact, we are confident you’ll find that the Vito surpasses your expectations, not least thanks to its passenger compartment which is packed with intelligent solutions.
The passenger compartment can be brought to a pleasant temperature thanks to the heating/cooling air duct The optional rail system increases the flexibility of the interior and allows the seating configuration to be adjusted as required at any time
Nothing but the best for your passengers Plenty of space, individual configuration possibilities, supportive seats and car-like ride comfort: these are the typical passenger requirements which a first class crewbus/minibus has to be able to satisfy these days. And the Vito certainly measures up on every count – especially with the optional rail system which allows the seats to be adjusted in very closely spaced (25 mm) steps. This offers a great of deal of flexibility with regard to the spacing and configuration of the seat rows which can even be arranged so that the passengers sit face-to-face during the journey. The same system allows the size of the luggage space to be adjusted as required. As for the seats themselves, you can choose between double and triple seating rows made up of comfortable individual seat elements which are available in standard or luxury form, the latter also being foldable and stowable in order to save space. For the triple seating row, an Easy-Entry function may be ordered for the seat nearest the sliding door.
From passenger vehicle to van in next to no time If you want to remove the seats entirely, you’ll find that the procedure is just as straightforward as that for reconfiguring their layout. Whether your Vito has the standard quick-release seat attachment system or the optional rail system, the seat rows can be removed quickly and without the need for any tools. The combination of the rail system and the luxury seats makes the conversion process particularly easy: all you have to do is place the seats in their stowed position, undo the quick-release lock and lift the seat row out of the rails – it’s as simple as that. As the three-point seat belts stay with the seats, there is no risk of them obstructing the cargo or being damaged by it.
Key features of the passenger compartment: n Double and triple seating rows made up of individual seat elements, available in two versions n Standard version with integral three-point seat belts, 2-way adjustable head restraints and the ISOFIX child-seat attachment system on all seats n Luxury version also features 4-way adjustable head restraints, individually foldable and adjustable backrests, “table”, “relaxation” and “packaged” positions n Armrests on both sides of seats in first rear row (luxury version) n Seat attachment system with quick-release function as standard n Optional rail system with 25 mm adjustment pitch n Face-to-face configuration of seat rows possible (with track system) n Seat rows removable quickly without need for tools n Spacious stowage compartment with map pocket and bottle holder on left side of passenger compartment

Technical features and engines
Technology. Driving pleasure. And a special tingling feeling Driving pleasure? Tingling feeling? In a van? You’ll understand what we mean once you’ve discovered how the Vito’s newly developed chassis and lively, high-torque engines add a new dimension of enjoyment to every journey, whether on the motorway or in urban traffic.
Rear-wheel drive: proven to be the best Regardless of the engine version you choose, you’ll be impressed by the dynamic characteristics of the Vito. These are above all a consequence of the intelligent design concept, a key feature of which is the rear-wheel drive layout. This arrangement offers huge advantages for a van’s dynamic handling properties, manoeuvrability and safety. It keeps torque-steer effects to an absolute minimum and ensures that the handling always retains its forgiving character –
16
a particularly important safety factor when dealing with a permissible gross vehicle weight as high as 2.94 t, a towing capacity of up to 2.5 t and a maximum gross combination weight of up to 5.3 t. And rear-wheel drive also has a positive effect on the Vito’s turning circles: at just 11.80 m (short wheelbase) and 12.50 m (long wheelbase) they are reassuringly small. As well as enhancing handling, rear-wheel drive offers better climbing and traction characteristics than front-wheel drive because it is the driven rear
axle that takes the weight of the load. This characteristic is invaluable when moving off on a slope and when towing a trailer. The ideal combination of power and control In addition to the drive concept, the standard Electronic Stability Program ESP and the independent suspension also play a key role in the Vito’s safe handling characteristics. The impressive suspension comfort can be increased even further with the optional air suspension
at the rear axle: as well as providing optimum passenger comfort and load protection, this option includes an automatic level control feature which maintains the vehicle at a constant level regardless of the payload.

Technical features and engines
The best of both worlds: high performance and low fuel consumption The CDI engines: dynamic and powerful The Vito is available with a choice of three second-generation CDI diesel engines which open up a new dimension of power and performance. It’s something you’ll notice right from your very first drive, every time you accelerate out of a bend, move off from the traffic lights or join a motorway. Because it is precisely in the all-important low-rev range that the three powerplants offer a degree of pulling power which makes for an extremely engaging driving experience. All three units owe their high power output and impressive
torque curves, which peak at 330 Nm in the top-of-the-range powerplant, to the consistent use of the very latest engine architecture: second-generation common-rail direct-injection diesel technology, 4 valves per cylinder, a 1600 bar injection system and a turbocharger with a variable nozzle turbine*, to mention just a few of the many highlights. Good fuel economy figures (from just 6.7 litres per 100 km at a constant 90 km/h) complement the enhanced power and performance to complete the compelling overall impression created by these engines. A diesel particulate filter** is available as an option.
The petrol engines: lively performance at its smoothest Two advanced V6 petrol engines with displacements of 3.2 litres (140 kW/190 hp) and 3.7 litres (170 kW/231 hp) are the ideal alternatives if you are looking for a unit which combines dynamic performance with extremely smooth operation. With their impressive torque curves, they make every trip a real pleasure – and they help look after the environment, too, thanks to their state-of-theart emission control systems. Incidentally, all the engines for the Vito have an advanced electronic engine management

Economy comes as standard The combination of the standard ASSYST service interval indicator and the significant reduction in the scope of maintenance work required means that you can look forward to pleasantly low maintenance costs for the Vito – thanks, in part, to the flexible oil-change intervals which are based on the actual intensity of vehicle usage. On average, your Vito only needs a workshop visit every 30,000 km (or every two
years). And we’ve made sure that the Vito is easy on your pocket in other areas, too: by designing it to be easy to repair, we have set out to keep the repair costs as low as possible if the worst should happen.

Safety
The safety concept: more is better Nothing fits your business better – a claim which the Vito lives up to not only with its outstanding practicality and economy, but also with its exemplary safety concept. Once again, the Vito demonstrates to great effect that, even in the van sector, it is possible to put the needs of the user first.
Safety: a key design principle The continuous growth in traffic levels both in urban areas and on motorways makes itself felt in every aspect of van operations and brings home the need for up-to-date safety equipment. As you would expect, this is another area where the Vito refuses to compromise. In fact, it makes the high safety standards of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars available to van users, too. The result: with its extensive safety features, which even include an advanced stability system, the Vito meets even the highest standards of active and passive safety.
Circuits that keep you on track The standard equipment of the Vito includes the Electronic Stability Program (ESP ) which also incorporates the anti-lock braking system (ABS) in combination with acceleration skid control (ASR), electronic brake force distribution (EBV) and the Brake Assist system (BAS). Together, these systems greatly improve directional stability and traction in critical situations. Working in conjunction with the Vito’s powerful brake system, ABS, BAS and EBV keep stopping distances reassuringly short and ensure that the vehicle remains easy to control, even during emergency braking.
Additional safety features: n Disc brakes all round n 3-point seat belts for all seats, with belt tensioners for driver and co-driver n Full-size airbags for driver and co-driver as standard n Optional twin co-driver airbag* n Optional windowbags and thorax sidebags for driver and co-driver n Safety body with highstrength load-bearing members n Safety steering column n Large safety tail lights n Various luggage retaining nets and cargo-retention grilles available for occupant protection

Our service portfolio
Welcome to a world of services As a cutting-edge van manufacturer, we have to think past just the vehicle itself. We regard our customer support and vehicle service activities as another important area in which we can contribute to the competitiveness and cost-efficiency of your company. From a vehicle-related repair service or mobility packages to individual financing, Mercedes-Benz offers you a wide range of services. Your Mercedes-Benz van dealer will be happy to advise you in detail.
Leasing and financing Advantageous leasing and finance packages can provide you with an individual solution to suit your personal financial circumstances. We’ll be pleased to give you a personalised quote. Mercedes-Benz CharterWay “Don’t buy, just use” is the theme of Mercedes-Benz CharterWay for business customers. This frees you from technical risks, safeguard your liquidity and protect your balance sheet from unexpected costs in return for a fixed monthly payment. Service contract A high level of financial and operating security is also provided by our special maintenance and repair contracts. For a small, individually
determined monthly fee, the Mercedes-Benz service contract covers all costs for maintenance, any repairs which may be necessary and statutory checks*. By paying just a single monthly fee – which depends on the vehicle model, annual mileage and the length of the contract – you can secure comprehensive service for your vehicle almost anywhere in Europe. Fixed-price packages for maintenance and repairs For total cost transparency, we offer fixed-price packages for the most common maintenance and repair jobs. This means that there are no surprises when the invoice arrives – you know in advance how much the work will cost.
Warranty In Western Europe, Vito vehicles used commercially or by self-employed persons for professional purposes also benefit from our ex-works 2-year unlimited mileage warranty (terms and conditions apply). 12-year corrosion perforation warranty Your new Vito is covered by the Mercedes-Benz 12-year warranty against perforation through corrosion (valid in 28 European countries, subject to terms and conditions). Service 24 h If your vehicle has broken down, our “Service 24 h” can help, around the clock and in almost all European countries. With over 2700 service facilities, we have one of the best-
developed van service networks in Europe. And increasing numbers of our workshops are working until 10 p. m. without any night surcharge. MobilityGo From 24-hour on-the-spot breakdown assistance to providing a replacement vehicle – as the owner of a brand-new Vito, a whole range of measures is available to ensure your mobility. This unlimitedmileage cover applies for 2 years in 28 European countries. MobilityGo comes into play in the event of technical problems, starting difficulties or workshop visits under warranty, if the repairs take longer than two hours. The only requirement is that service must be carried out according to our specifications, and only by an authorised Mercedes-Benz workshop. MercedesService Card Whether you’re just filling up with fuel, having repairs done by an authorised MercedesBenz partner, or want to pay tunnel or motorway tolls – the MercedesService Card gives you access to a comprehensive range of services almost everywhere in Europe – without the need for cash.
It’s practical, convenient and helps you run your business more efficiently. Visit us on the internet Visit our web site at www.mercedes-benz.com and you’ll find information, advice and – for certain countries – a profile finder or configurator which helps you to pinpoint your ideal vehicle quickly and easily. The profile finder/configurator presents key selection criteria – such as models, wheelbases, engines and vehicle weights – in a user-friendly way so that you can identify the van that’s right for you with a few clicks of the mouse. Telematics for your van: “Sound 40 Pro” The “Sound 40 Pro” communication system combines a telephone featuring hands-free operation, a navigation system, a radio, a CD-player and a WAP browser in a single unit which turns your van into a communication centre with almost unlimited possibilities. But the benefits offered by “Sound 40 Pro” do not end there – customers have the option of extending the functionality of the communication system to make use of the
services of the telematics-based FleetBoard Logistics system. This advanced tool is used for trip planning and monitoring as well as consignment tracking: orders and messages from the dispatching centre are transmitted via GPRS and appear on the “Sound 40 Pro” display where they can be acknowledged by the driver at the push of a button. Order and delivery addresses can be transferred straight to the navigation system.

Take-back of end-of-life vehicles. Coming full circle At the end of its long life, you can return your Vito to us for environment-friendly disposal in accordance with the EU End-Of-Life Vehicle Directive. But that day lies a long way off. The take-back of end-of-life vehicles applies in accordance with national regulations to vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight. The Vito meets the statutory regulations governing the suitability of the vehicle’s design for reuse and recycling. A network of vehicle take-back depots and dismantlers has been established which will process your vehicle in an environmentfriendly manner. The ways in which both vehicles and parts can be recovered are subject to ongoing development and improvement. Consequently, the Vito will be able to comply with any future increases in the recycling quota within the stipulated time limits. For further information, please call 00800 1777 7777.
