Warning
G
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured by a child
restraint system.
The children could:
\4injure themselves on parts of the vehicle
\4unlock the door on vehicles with an elec-
tric sliding door by pressing the central
locking button, and then open the doors
and thereby injure other persons
\4get out of the vehicle and could either
injure themselves when doing so or they
could be injured by passing vehicles
\4be severely or even fatally injured by
prolonged exposure to intense heat
!Do not expose the key to high levels of
electromagnetic radiation, otherwise
this may interfere with the functions of
the key.
Protect the key from moisture to pre-
vent malfunctions.
iTo prevent theft, only use the remote
control in the immediate vicinity of the
vehicle.
In an emergency, the driver’s door and
rear door can also be unlocked manual-
ly using the key.iIf the batteries are checked within

Lighting
3
Load compartment motion detector*
On panel vans equipped with a motion de-
tector in the load compartment, the rear
interior lighting may also switch on if mo-
tion is detected.The rear interior lighting can be switched
on by the motion detector with a delay of
no more than 4 seconds if:
\4the switch on the rear interior lamp
(\2page 82) is set to “automatic con-
trol”
\4the vehicle is stationary, the handbrake
is applied and the service brake is not
applied
or
\4the selector lever is in position P and
the service brake is not applied
\4the vehicle has not been locked from
the outside using the key
iThe rear interior lamps switch off auto-
matically after 20 minutes, even if the
switches on the rear interior lamps
(\2page 82) are in the On position 1.
If you wish to reactivate the rear interi-
or lamps, you must:
\4open a door
\4switch on the ignition again
\4set the rear interior lighting master
control switch to position2 again.
Warning
G
Motion detectors work with invisible infra-
red beams emitted by LEDs (Light Emitting
Diodes).
Do not view invisible infrared radiation, laser
class 1M, directly using optical instruments.
Your eyes could otherwise be injured.iIf the motion detector detects move-
ment in the load compartment when
the vehicle is stationary, the rear interi-
or lighting switches on for approxi-
mately 2 minutes. If new movements
are detected, the duration resumes
from the beginning and the rear interior
lighting remains switched on.
iThe motion detector switches off auto-
matically if no change is detected in the
vehicle for several hours, e.g. door
opened, ignition key turned, etc.
This prevents the battery from dis-
charging.

ParkingWarning
G
Only remove the key from the ignition lock
when the vehicle is stationary, since it is not
possible to steer the vehicle with the key re-
moved.
Always apply the handbrake after parking
the vehicle.
Never leave children unsupervised in the ve-
hicle. They could release the handbrake.
This could lead to a serious or fatal accident.
Warning
G
Always switch off the engine and apply the
handbrake before leaving the vehicle.
The vehicle could roll away if it is not
secured.
On uphill or downhill gradients steeper than
15%:
\4apply the handbrake
\4secure an unloaded vehicle by chocking
the front axle (\2page 303)
\4secure a loaded vehicle by, for example,
chocking the rear axle (\2page 303)!
CAUTION
Whenever you park the vehicle, always
remove the key to prevent the battery
from excessively discharging.
For vehicles which are out of use for ex-
tended periods and have a battery iso-
lating switch*, switch off the electrical
system (\2page 197).
Warning
G
Make sure that the exhaust system does not
come into contact with highly flammable
materials, e.g. dry grass or gasoline. The
flammable material could otherwise ignite
and set vehicle components on fire.Warning
G
Regulations in some countries require the
parking lamps to be switched on to illumi-
nate the vehicle for other road users if
parked on a public road at night. In built-up
areas, night reflectors can also be used.
Observe legal requirements.

Telephones may only be used inside the
vehicle if they are connected to a separate
exterior antenna of a type tested and ap-
proved by the manufacturer.The installation of the antenna must be ap-
proved by a qualified specialist workshop.
Always have maintenance work carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an
authorized Sprinter Dealer.Telephone*Warning
G
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are driving when
operating a cell phone in the vehicle.
If it is permitted to operate a cell phone
while the vehicle is in motion, you must only
operate it when road and traffic conditions
permit. You may otherwise be distracted
from the traffic conditions, cause an acci-
dent and injure yourself and others.
Cell phones without exterior antennas may
interfere with the vehicle electronics and
thereby jeopardize the operational safety of
the vehicle. You must therefore only use
these devices when they are connected to a
separate exterior antenna.
Warning
G
Only use the telephone when road, weather
and traffic conditions permit you to do so.
You will otherwise be too distracted. If you
are not using the hands-free system, pull
over to make a phone call.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approx. 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering
a distance of 44 feet (approx. 14 m) every
second.
Telephones without exterior antennas may
interfere with the vehicle electronics and
thereby jeopardize the operational safety of
the vehicle.
iObserve all legal requirements.iThe cell phone battery will be charged
depending on the charge status and
the position of the key in the ignition
lock. The cell phone display indicates
the charging process.
