Problem
Possible cause / result
Suggested solutions
The battery check lamp on the remote control
for the auxiliary heating does not light up
briefly when a button is pressed.
The remote control batteries are discharged.
\1Change the remote control batteries
(\2page 541).
The auxiliary heating does not switch on or the
engine does not start.
Lack of fuel.
The fuel tank is less than a quarter full. The aux-
iliary heating switches off automatically.
\1Refuel at the nearest refueling station.
\1Then start the auxiliary heating repeat-
edly until the fuel lines are full.
The undervoltage protection circuit integrated
in the control unit switches off the auxiliary
heating because the on-board voltage is less
than 10 V.
\1If necessary, have the alternator and
the battery checked.
The fuse has blown.
\1Replace the fuse (\2page 589).
\1Have the cause of the blown fuse
checked at an authorized Sprinter Deal-
er.
