Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating mobile phones.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is cov-
ering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every second.
You and others can suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation. By using
an exterior antenna, a possible health risk
caused by electromagnetic fields, as discussed
in scientific circles, is taken into account. Only
have the exterior antenna installed by a qualified
specialist workshop.
We recommend the use of an approved exterior
antenna for operating the mobile phone. Only in
this way can optimal mobile phone reception
quality in the vehicle be ensured and mutual
interference between the vehicle electronics
and mobile phones minimized.
Observe the legal requirements for each indi-
vidual country.
Mobile phone pre-installation
The mobile phone pre-installation includes a
hands-free system integrated into the vehicle.
The microphone for the hands-free system is
installed in the overhead control panel or in the
overhead stowage compartment together with
the front interior light.
In order to use the hands-free system, you will
need a special bracket. The Sprinter accesso-
ries include brackets for various mobile phone
models.
iMobile phone brackets which are available
from various manufacturers on the open mar- ket are not compatible with the Sprinter tele-
phone system. You can recognize suitable
holders for your mobile phone by the imprin-
ted star and the B6 spare part number on the back of the bracket.
Detailed instructions for use can be found in the
operating instructions for the mobile phone

Important safety notes
GWARNING
During the charging process, a battery produ-
ces hydrogen gas. If a short circuit occurs or
sparks are created, the hydrogen gas can
ignite. There is a risk of an explosion.
RMake sure that the positive terminal of a
connected battery does not come into con- tact with vehicle parts.
RNever place metal objects or tools on a bat-
tery.
RIt is important that you observe the descri-
bed order of the battery terminals when
connecting and disconnecting a battery.
RWhen jump-starting, make sure that the
battery poles with identical polarity are
connected.
RIt is particularly important to observe the
described order when connecting and dis-
connecting the jumper cables.
RNever connect or disconnect the battery
terminals while the engine is running.
Disconnecting the starter battery
!Switch off the engine and remove the key
from the ignition lock. Firstly remove the bat-
tery terminals. Otherwise, you could destroy
electronic components such as the alterna-
tor.
Always disconnect the starter battery in the
battery case in the left-hand side footwell
first.
!Always disconnect the battery in the order
described below. Never swap the terminal
clamps. You may otherwise damage the vehi- cle electronics.
If the vehicle is expected to be out of use for over
3 weeks, disconnect the batteries. This will pre-
vent battery discharge caused by off-load cur-
rent consumption.

Observe the following when raising the vehicle:
RWhen raising the vehicle, only use the jack
which Mercedes-Benz has specifically
approved for your vehicle.
RThe vehicle's jack is intended only to raise the
vehicle for a short time when changing a
wheel. It is not suited for performing mainte-
nance work under the vehicle.
RAvoid changing the wheel on uphill and down-
hill slopes.
RBefore raising the vehicle, secure it from roll-
ing away by applying the parking brake and
inserting wheel chocks. Never disengage the
parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
RThe jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a large,
load-bearing underlay must be used. On a
slippery surface, a non-slip underlay must be
used, e.g. rubber mats.
RMake sure that the distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does not
exceed 1.2 in(3 cm).
RNever place your hands or feet under the
raised vehicle.
RNever lie under the raised vehicle.
RNever start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
RNever open or close a door when the vehicle
is raised.
RMake sure that no persons are present in the
vehicle when the vehicle is raised.
!Only use the jack pump lever middle rod and
the rod with the largest diameter as a lug
wrench extension. Only slide the middle rod
as far as it will go onto the lug wrench. The
rods may otherwise bend and be distorted to
such an extent that they can no longer be
used as a pump lever for the jack.
!Do not place the jack on the leaf spring or
the differential case.
Hydraulic jack
