version:
\4Starter battery in the battery recess in
the driver’s footwell
\4Auxiliary battery* in the engine com-
partmentHave the batteries removed at an autho-
rized Sprinter Dealer which has the neces-
sary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work required.
The manufacturer recommends that you
use an authorized Sprinter Dealer for this
purpose.
\1Switch off all electrical consumers.
iThe auxiliary battery* in the engine
compartment is not suitable for jump-
starting operations. Only use the jump-
starting connection in the engine com-
partment if you require jump-starting
assistance or wish to provide jump-
starting assistance (\2page 340).Warning
G
Observe the safety notes in the “Operation”
section (\2page 195).
Do not place any metal objects on the bat-
tery. Doing so can cause a short circuit.
Use only impact-resistant batteries with a
central gas release cover to prevent corro-
sion damage and to protect occupants from
caustic burns in the event of an accident.Disconnecting the batteryWarning
G
There is a risk of a short circuit if the positive
terminal of the connected battery comes
into contact with vehicle parts. The highly
explosive gas mixture could ignite as a re-
sult. You and others could be seriously in-
jured as a result.
\4Do not place any metal objects or tools
on the batteries.
\4When disconnecting the batteries, al-
ways disconnect the negative terminals
first and then the positive terminals.
\4When reconnecting the batteries, al-
ways reconnect the positive terminals
first and then the negative terminals.
\4Do not loosen or disconnect the termi-
nal clamps on the batteries while the en-
gine is running.!
CAUTION
Switch off the engine and take the key
out of the ignition lock before you loos-
en or disconnect the terminal clamps.

Please note:
\4Jump-starting must only be performed
when the engine and catalytic convert-
er are cold.\4Do not start the engine if the battery
has frozen. Let the battery thaw out
first.
\4Only use a battery of the same rated
voltage and of approximately the same
capacity for jump-starting.
\4Only use jumper cables of adequate
cross-section with insulated battery
terminal clamps.
\1Make sure that the two vehicles do not
touch.
\1Apply the handbrake or move the se-
lector lever to positionP.
\1Switch off all electrical consumers.
\1Switch on the battery isolating switch*
if necessary (\2page 197).\1Remove the key from the ignition lock.
\1Open the hood (\2page 185).
