Für welche Mercedes-Sprinter-Modelle ist die Trittstufe geeignet?

Die Trittstufe ist für Mercedes Sprinter mit Allradantrieb (AWD) ausgelegt, insbesondere für Fahrzeuge ab Baujahr 2006 (Typ 906) sowie ab Baujahr 2018 (Typ 907) mit Allrad. Sie ist nicht für Fahrzeuge mit Frontantrieb (Typ 910) vorgesehen.

Passt die Trittstufe auch bei Achleitner- oder IGLHAUT-Allradfahrzeugen?

Nein. Die Trittstufe ist nicht kompatibel mit Achleitner- oder IGLHAUT-Allrad-Umbauten, da sich Befestigungspunkte, Anbauraum und Unterboden-Komponenten unterscheiden können.

Wie funktioniert das automatische Aus- und Einfahren im Alltag?

Beim Öffnen der Tür fährt die Trittstufe vollautomatisch aus. Nach dem Schließen der Tür fährt sie selbstständig wieder ein und liegt während der Fahrt unter dem Fahrzeug.

Welche Sicherheitsfunktionen sind integriert (Hinderniserkennung)?

Die Trittstufe verfügt über eine automatische Hinderniserkennung. Wird ein Hindernis im Schwenkbereich erkannt, stoppt die Stufe in der aktuellen Position.

Ist eine Beleuchtung enthalten und wofür ist sie gedacht?

Eine LED-Leiste beleuchtet den Trittbereich bei Dunkelheit. Das verbessert die Sicht beim Ein- und Aussteigen und erhöht die Sicherheit bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen.

Muss die Trittstufe in die Fahrzeugpapiere eingetragen werden?

Seitlich einfahrbare Trittstufen müssen nach EG-Richtlinie 97/27 in der Regel nicht eingetragen werden, da sie bei der Messung der Fahrzeugbreite nicht berücksichtigt werden. Der Anbau führt typischerweise nicht zum Erlöschen der Betriebserlaubnis nach § 19 Abs. 2 StVZO und erfordert damit in der Regel keine Einzelabnahme nach § 21 StVZO.

Wie aufwendig ist die Montage und wer darf sie durchführen?

Die Montagezeit liegt typischerweise bei ca. 3–4 Stunden. Der Einbau darf nur durch qualifiziertes Fachpersonal erfolgen; Arbeiten an elektrischen Komponenten müssen von Elektrofachkräften ausgeführt werden.

Warum steht die Trittstufe ausgefahren leicht schräg?

Bei diesem Schwenkmechanismus kann die Stufe im ausgefahrenen Zustand konstruktionsbedingt ca. 10–15° leicht schräg stehen. Das ist bei bestimmten Einbaulagen normal und dient dem Ein- und Ausfahrweg sowie der passenden Einstiegshöhe.

A fully automatic step makes it much easier to get into high vehicles and also increases comfort in everyday use. This fully automatic step for the left front door (driver's side) was specially developed for Mercedes Sprinters with all-wheel drive and impresses with its intelligent technology, high load capacity, and discreet integration under the vehicle.

Fully automatic step for Mercedes Sprinter with all-wheel drive

The electric step is designed for Mercedes Sprinter models with all-wheel drive (AWD) and extends automatically when the door is opened. After closing the door, it retracts automatically back under the vehicle and is virtually invisible while driving.

Important: This step is only suitable for vehicles with all-wheel drive and is not compatible with front-wheel drive (type 910).

Suitable vehicle models

The step is suitable for the following Mercedes Sprinter variants:

**⚖️ Suitable vehicle variants on the MB Sprinter - All-wheel drive**
Designation	Drive / Type	Wheelbase	Overall length	Vehicle height
L2H2	All-wheel drive – W906 / W907	3,665 mm	5,932 mm	2,620 mm
L3H2	All-wheel drive – W906 / W907	4,325 mm	6,967 mm	2,616 mm
L4H2	All-wheel drive – W906 / W907	4,325 mm	7,367 mm	2,613 mm

Note: The vehicle length can be found in the vehicle registration document under point 18, the vehicle height under point 20, and the year of manufacture under point 6 (valid for German registration certificates).

Safety and comfort in everyday use

The fully automatic step was developed for everyday use and offers a high level of safety and reliability—even in adverse conditions.

Automatic obstacle detection

An integrated obstacle detection system ensures that the step stops immediately as soon as an object is detected in the swivel range. This reliably prevents damage to the vehicle, step, or surroundings.

LED lighting for safe entry

An LED strip included in the scope of delivery illuminates the step area in the dark and significantly improves visibility when getting in and out of the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions about the fully automatic step for Mercedes Sprinter (AWD)

This FAQ answers important technical questions about the fully automatic step for the left front door (passenger side) on the Mercedes Sprinter with all-wheel drive. The focus is on compatibility, function, installation, safety, and legal information.

For which Mercedes Sprinter models is the step suitable?

The step is designed for Mercedes Sprinters with all-wheel drive (AWD), in particular for vehicles built in 2006 or later (type 906) and in 2018 or later (type 907) with all-wheel drive. It is not intended for vehicles with front-wheel drive (type 910).

Does the step also fit Achleitner or IGLHAUT all-wheel drive vehicles?

No. The step is not compatible with Achleitner or IGLHAUT all-wheel drive conversions. In the case of special conversions, the mounting points, installation space, and underbody components may differ.

How does the automatic extension and retraction work in everyday use?

When the door is opened, the step extends fully automatically and provides a defined stepping surface. After the door is closed, the step retracts automatically and remains under the vehicle while driving, making it barely visible during normal operation.

What safety features are integrated (obstacle detection)?

The step has automatic obstacle detection. If the system detects an obstacle in the swivel range, the step stops in its current position. This reduces the risk of damage and increases safety in confined installation situations.

Is lighting included and what is it for?

An LED strip illuminates the step area in the dark. This improves visibility when getting in and out of the vehicle and helps you step safely, especially in rain, dirt, or on uneven ground.

Does the step have to be entered in the vehicle documents?

Side-retractable steps do not usually have to be entered in accordance with EC Directive 97/27, as they are not taken into account when measuring the vehicle width. The installation does not typically invalidate the operating license in accordance with § 19 (2) StVZO (German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations) and therefore does not usually require individual approval in accordance with § 21 StVZO.

How complex is the installation and who is authorized to carry it out?

Installation typically takes around 3–4 hours (depending on the vehicle and equipment). Installation may only be carried out by qualified specialists. Work on electrical components must be carried out by qualified electricians to ensure safe operation.

Why is the step slightly slanted when extended?

Due to the design of this swivel mechanism, the step may be slightly slanted at an angle of approx. 10–15° when extended. This is normal in certain installation positions and serves the function of the extension and retraction path as well as the appropriate entry height.
