0040 Environmental note
Observe measures to protect the
environment when working on the vehicle.
You must observe the legal requirements
when disposing of service products, e.g.
engine oil. This

also includes all components,
e.g. filters, which have come into contact with
service products.
Any qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an
authorized Sprinter Dealer, can provide

area. As the battery is being charged, gases
can escape and generate minor explosions,
which can injure

you and others or may cause damage to the paintwork or acid corrosion on
the vehicle.
There is a risk of acid burns during the
charging process due to the gases which
escape from the battery. Do not, therefore,
lean over the battery while it is being
recharged.
X Recharge the removed battery. Observe
the notes in the operating instructions for
your battery charger.
X Follow the above steps in the reverse order

charged when it is installed in
the vehicle. The vehicle's electronics
system may otherwise be damaged.
i It is also possible to charge the starter
battery using the jump-starting connection
point in the engine compartment
(Y page 247).
