Notes on changing the batteries
G
Warning!
Batteries are toxic and contain caustic
substances. For this reason, keep batteries
out of the reach of children.
If a battery
has been swallowed, visit a doctor
immediately.
0040Environmental note Batteries contain toxic substances.
It is illegal to dispose of them with
household
waste. Batteries

must be
collected separately and be

Practical advice Z

recycled in an environmentally
responsible manner.
Dispose of old batteries in an
environmentally responsible
manner. Take discharged batteries
to a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. an authorized Sprinter Dealer,
or to a special collection point for
old batteries.
Key with remote control
You need two CR 2025 3 V cell batteries.
When changing the batteries, do not press
any of the buttons on the remote control. 0046

the arrow. X
Remove old batteries from the battery tray. i
When inserting the batteries, make sure
that they are clean and lint-free.
X Insert the new batteries with the positive
terminal facing upwards. Use a lint-free
cloth to do so.
X Position battery cover 0046 and press down
until it engages noticeably.
X Check the function of all the remote control
buttons on the vehicle. Automatic transmission
In the event

of a malfunction, it is possible to
manually release the selector lever from the
lock in parking position P, e.g. to have the
vehicle towed away. X

X Refit cover 0046. Jump starting, tow-starting and
towing away
Jump-starting
General notes If the vehicle battery is flat, the engine can be
started from another vehicle using jumper
cables. For this purpose, the vehicle has a
jump-starting connection point in the engine
compartment.
The additional battery in the engine
compartment is
not
suitable for jump-starting
operations. If your vehicle requires jump-
starting, or if you use it to jump-start another
vehicle, use the jump-starting connection
point in the engine compartment. G
Warning
Explosive oxyhydrogen is produced when
batteries are being

charged. When working on
batteries, always make sure that the work
area is well ventilated.
Keep flames and naked lights away from the
battery, and do not smoke.
Prevent the creation of sparks (e.g. when
disconnecting the batteries). Sparks can
ignite the oxyhydrogen gas and cause the
batteries to explode. You and others could be
seriously injured. G
Warning
Due to the gases which escape from batteries,
there is a risk of acid burns when jump-
starting a vehicle.

Do not lean over the battery
while the engine is being jump-started.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy starting
attempts.
Do not use a rapid-charging device to start
the engine. When jump-starting, observe the following
points:
R
jump-starting must only be performed
when the engine and catalytic converter
are cold.
R do not start the engine if the battery is
frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
R when jump-starting, use

only batteries with
the same nominal voltage and a similar
capacity.
R only use jump leads protected against
polarity reversal, with adequate cross-
section and with insulated battery terminal
clamps.
X Make sure that the two vehicles do not
touch.
X Apply the parking brake.
X Move the selector lever of the automatic
transmission to position P.
X Switch off all electrical consumers.
X Switch on the battery isolating switch
(Y page 87).
X Remove the key from the ignition lock.
X Open the hood (Y page 168).
Connecting the jumper cable Connection plan
X
Remove the cover from positive
terminal 0047 of the donor battery.
X First connect one of the positive terminal
clamps of the jumper cable to positive
terminal 0047 of the donor battery. Jump starting, tow-starting and towing away

Practical advice Z

Jump-starting connection point left of the air filter
X
Then, use other positive terminal
clamp 0046 of the jumper cable to turn the
red protective cap of the jump-starting
connection point clockwise and slide it
back and connect positive terminal
clamp 0046 to positive terminal 0086 of the
jump-starting connection point.
i Do not connect the jumper cable to the
additional battery in the engine
compartment. The
additional
battery is not
suitable for jump-starting operations.
X Run the donor vehicle's engine at idling
speed.
X First, connect the negative terminal clamps
of the jumper cable to negative terminal
008A of the donor battery and then to earth
contact 0088 of your own vehicle.
X Start the engine.
i You can
now

switch electrical consumers
back on but do not switch on the lights.
X First, disconnect the negative terminal
clamps of the jumper cable from earth
contact 0088 and then

from negative terminal
008A of the donor battery.
X First disconnect the positive terminal
clamps of the jumper cable from positive
terminal 0086 of the jump-starting
connection point and then from positive
terminal 0047 of the donor battery.
The red protective cap springs back to its
initial position when positive terminal
clamp 0046 is removed from the jump-
starting connection point. X
Place the cover on positive terminal 0047 of
the donor battery.
i You can now switch the lights on.
X Have the battery checked at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Sprinter Dealer. Tow-starting
You cannot tow-start

your vehicle as it has an
automatic transmission. Towing
General notes G
Warning
Tow the vehicle using a rigid towing bar if:
R the engine is not running.
R the voltage supply

or the vehicle's electrical
system is malfunctioning.
There is no power assistance for the steering
and braking when the engine is not running.
You must then use significantly greater force
to steer the vehicle and brake.
Do not tow the vehicle if the key cannot
be turned in the ignition lock. The steering is
then locked and it will not be possible to steer
the vehicle.
When towing another vehicle, its weight
should not be greater than the permissible
gross weight of your vehicle.
Comply with national regulations when
towing.
It is preferable to have the vehicle
transported on a transporter or trailer instead
of towing it. When towing the vehicle, use a
rigid towing bar.
! Only secure the tow cable or tow bar to
the towing eyes. You could otherwise
damage the vehicle.
i Before towing, deactivate the automatic
locking while driving function (Y page 55). 248
