WARNING
Gases and fluids from substances that con-
stitute a health hazard or react aggressively
can escape even from securely closed con-
tainers. When transporting such substances
in the vehicle interior, your ability to concen-
trate or your health could be affected during
the journey. Malfunctions, short circuits or
electrical component system failures may
also result. There is a risk of an accident and
fire.
Do not store or transport any substances in
the vehicle interior which are hazardous to
health or react aggressively.
These instructions must also be observed for
vehicles where the cargo compartment is not fully separated from the driver's cab.
Partition with door/window: always keep thedoor/window in the partition closed during
transport.
Examples of substances that are hazardous
to health and/or react aggressively:
R Solvents
R Fuel
R Oil and grease
R Cleaning agents
R Acids Protection of the environment
Economic and environmentally aware

Environmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
that form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in a manner
that takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmen-
tally responsible manner. Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are affected
by these factors:
R operating conditions of your vehicle
R your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:
Operating conditions:
R avoid short trips as these increase fuel con-
sumption.
R always make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
R do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R remove roof racks once you no longer need
them.
R a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R always have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
R do not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
R do not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary.
R drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
R change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to 00C3of its maximum engine speed.
R switch off the engine in stationary traffic.
R keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consump-
tion. Environmental issues and recommen-

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Activate the child-proof door locks if children are traveling in the vehicle. The children could
otherwise open the doors while the vehicle is
in motion, injuring themselves and others. G
WARNING
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. Children could otherwise
injure themselves on parts of the vehicle.
They could be severely or even fatally injured by prolonged exposure to intense heat or
cold.
If children open a door, they could:
R injure other people
R get out of the vehicle and thereby injure
themselves or be injured by a passing vehi-
cle
R severely injure themselves by falling down,
in particular due to the vehicle height
Always take the key with you when leaving the
vehicle, even if you are only leaving for a short time. G
WARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the
SmartKey, the SmartKey could be uninten- tionally turned in the ignition lock. This could
cause the engine to be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
SmartKey. Remove any bulky key rings before
inserting the SmartKey into the ignition lock.
Do not keep the key with remote control:
R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile
phone or another key with remote control
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal
foil
R in metallic objects, e.g. metal cases
This can affect the key's functionality. Key functions of the remote control
General notes The vehicle is equipped with either 2 or
4 remote controls with a folding key, or 4
mechanical keys. In this Operator's Manual,
both the mechanical keys and the keys with
remote control are referred to as keys. The
remote control key has a range of up to 32 ft (10 m). Use the remote control of the key only
when in immediate proximity of the vehicle.
This prevents theft.
Remote controls that are not included in the
scope of delivery for the vehicle must be pro- grammed before use. Further information can
be obtained at any authorized Sprinter
Dealer.
The key's remote control locks/unlocks the
driver's door and/or the following centrally if the factory settings have not been changed:
R the driver's and the co-driver's door
R the sliding doors
R the rear doors
i If the driver's or co-driver's door is not
closed, the corresponding door is not
locked. If a sliding door or a rear door is not
closed properly, none of the rear doors are
locked. 66

Highbeam Assist
General notes You can use this function to set the head-
lamps to change between low beam and high beam automatically. The system recognizes
vehicles with their lights on, either approach-
ing from the opposite direction or traveling in front of your vehicle, and consequently
switches the headlamps from high beam to
low beam.
Once the system no longer detects any other
vehicles, it reactivates the high-beam head-
lamps.
The system's optical sensor is located behind the windshield near the overhead control
panel.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Highbeam Assist does not recognize road
users:
R who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
In very rare cases, Highbeam Assist may fail to
recognize other road users who have lights, or
may recognize them too late. In this or similar situations, the automatic high-beam head-
lamps will not be deactivated or will be acti-
vated regardless. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and switch off the high-beam headlamps in
good time.
Highbeam Assist cannot take into account
road, weather or traffic conditions. Highbeam Assist is only an aid. You are responsible for
adjusting the vehicle's lighting to the prevail-
ing light, visibility and traffic conditions. In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be restricted if there is:
R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R dirt on the sensors or anything else cover-
ing the sensors
Activating/deactivating Highbeam
Assist X
To activate: switch on the Highbeam
Assist function using the on-board com-
puter (Y page 192).
X Turn the light switch to the 0058position.
X Press the combination switch beyond the
pressure point in the direction of arrow 0043
(Y page 94).
Highbeam Assist is active.
The 00CE or indicator lamp in the
multifunction display lights up when it is
dark and the light sensor activates the low-
beam headlamps.
If you are driving at speeds above approx-
imately 22 mph (35 km/h) and no other
road users have been detected:
The high-beam headlamps are switched on
automatically. The 0057indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below approx-
imately 19 mph (30 km/h), other road
users are recognized or the roads are ade-
quately lit:
The high-beam headlamps are switched off automatically. The 0057indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster goes out. The 00CE
or indicator lamp in the multifunc-
tion display remains lit.
X To deactivate: move the combination
switch back to its normal position or move the light switch to another position.
The 00CE or indicator lamp in the
multifunction display goes out. 96

Motion detector
G
WARNING
The motion detector sends the invisible infra- red radiation emitted by LEDs (light emitting
diodes).
These LEDs are classified as class 1M lasers
and can damage the retina if you:
R look directly into the unfiltered laser beam
of the motion detector for an extended
period
R look directly into the laser beam of the
motion detector using optical instruments,
e.g. eyeglasses or a magnifying glass.
There is a risk of injury.
Never look directly into the motion detector.
The cargo compartment lighting is also
switched on by the motion detector in the
cargo compartment of Cargo Vans equipped
with this feature.
If the motion detector detects a movement in the cargo compartment when the vehicle is
stationary, the cargo compartment lighting
switches on for approximately two minutes.
The cargo compartment lighting can be
switched on by the motion detector within
four seconds if:
R the rear interior light switch (Y page 98) is
set to automatic control.
R the vehicle is stationary, the parking brake
is applied and the brake pedal is not being
depressed
Or
R the selector lever is in position Pon vehi-
cles with automatic transmission and the
brake pedal is not being depressed and
R the vehicle has not been locked from the
outside using the key
The motion detector switches off automati-
cally if no change is detected in the vehicle for
several hours, e.g. if a door is opened, if the
ignition key is turned, etc. This prevents the
battery from becoming discharged. Changing bulbs
Important safety notes
G
DANGER
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You can get an electric shock if you remove the cover of
the Xenon bulb and touch the electrical con-
tacts. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Never touch the parts or the electrical con-
tacts of the Xenon bulb. Always have work on
the Xenon bulbs carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. G
WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very hot when operating. If you change a bulb, you
could burn yourself on these components.
There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before changing a bulb.
! Make sure the bulbs are always securely
installed.
If your vehicle is equipped with Bi-Xenon
bulbs, you can recognize this by the following: the cone of light from the Xenon bulbs moves
from the top to the bottom and back again
when you start the engine. For this to be
observed, the low-beam headlamps must be
switched on before starting the engine.
The bulbs and lamps are an essential compo- nent of vehicle safety. You must therefore
make sure that these function correctly at all
times. Have the headlamp setting checked
regularly.
R Always switch off the vehicle's lighting sys-
tem before changing a bulb.
This will prevent a short circuit.
R Do not touch the glass tube of new bulbs
with your bare hands. Always use a clean,
lint-free cloth or only touch the base of the bulb when installing.
Even minor contamination can burn into
the glass surface and reduce the service life
of the bulbs. Changing bulbs
99Lights and windshield wipers Z

R
Do not use a bulb that has been dropped or
that has scratches on its glass tube.
The bulb could explode.
R Only use bulbs in closed lamps which have
been designed for this purpose.
R Only use spare bulbs of the same type and
with the prescribed voltage
R Protect the bulbs from moisture when in
use.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult a qualified specialist workshop.
R Have the LEDs and bulbs of the following
lamps changed at a qualified specialist
workshop:
- the additional turn signals in the exterior
mirrors
- the high-mounted brake lamp
- LED daytime running lamps (Bi-Xenon
headlamps)
- Bi-Xenon lamps (Bi-Xenon headlamps)
- front fog lamps
If you require assistance changing bulbs, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop. Front bulbs

WARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air out-
lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior.
The center and side air vents are adjustable.
On vehicles with a rear-compartment air-con-
ditioning system, you can also adjust the air
vents in the roof duct.
i For virtually draft-free ventilation, adjust
the sliders of the center air vents to the
center position.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior, please observe the following notes:
