Important safety notes
GWARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get
out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
GWARNING
If you leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle, they could set it in motion by, for example:
Rrelease the parking brake.
Rshift the automatic transmission out of park
position Por shift manual transmission into
neutral.
Rstart the engine.
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.
GWARNING
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:
Rwith electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key with remote control
Rwith metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
Rin 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 con-
trol 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 immedi-
ate 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:
Rthe driver's and the front-passenger door
Rthe sliding doors
Rthe rear doors
iIf the driver's or front-passenger 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.
If there is a key is in the ignition lock, the remote
control is inoperative. When locking or unlock-
ing the vehicle with the remote control, always
pay attention to the indicator lamp signaling.
Also check the locking knobs of the doors.
