2015 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER high beam

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

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

cific maintenance work must be carried out at
regular intervals and in accordance with the
service requirements of the dealer listed here
on the inside title page. Details can be found
in the Maintenance Booklet. Short journey
! If the vehicle is predominantly used for
short-distance driving or is stationary for
long periods, this could lead to a malfunc-
tion in the automatic cleaning function for
the diesel particle filter. This can lead to
blockage of the diesel particle filter. This
can also result in fuel collecting in the
engine oil and cause engine failure.
Therefore, if you mainly drive short distances,
drive on a highway or an inter-urban road for
20 minutes every 300 miles (500 km). This
facilitates the diesel particle filter's burn-off
process. Speed limiter
G
WARNING
Exceeding the stated tire load-bearing capa-
city and the approved maximum speed could
lead to tire damage or the tire bursting. There is a risk of accident.
Therefore, only use tire types and sizes
approved for your vehicle model. Observe the
tire load rating and speed rating required for
your vehicle.
As the driver, you must find out about the
maximum speed of the vehicle and the result-
ing permissible maximum speed of the tires
(tire and tire pressure). In particular, also
observe the tire approval regulations for each
country.
You must not exceed the speed limit for the
tires listed in the tire pressure tables. You can find information on tire pressures in the
"Wheels and tires" section (Y page 288).You can permanently limit the maximum
speed of your vehicle to 55 mph (90 km/h),
60 mph (100 km/h) or 75 mph (120 km/h).
We recommend that you use an authorized
Sprinter Dealer for the programming of the
maximum speed.
Before overtaking, take into consideration
that the engine speed limiter prevents the
speed increasing beyond the programmed
maximum speed. Driving abroad
Service An extensive network of authorized Sprinter
Dealers is also at your disposal when you are
traveling abroad. Nevertheless, please bear in
mind that service facilities or replacement
parts may not always be immediately availa-
ble. You can obtain a list of workshops at any
authorized Sprinter Dealer.
Fuel In some countries, only fuels with a higher
sulfur content are available.
Unsuitable fuel can cause engine damage.
Information on fuel (Y page 318).
Low-beam headlamps If you are traveling in countries where vehi-
cles are driven on the opposite side of the
road to that in which the vehicle is registered,
you will need to:
R have the halogen headlamps partially
masked
R have the Bi-Xenon headlamps set to sym-
metrical low beam
This prevents glare to oncoming traffic and no
longer illuminates the edge of the road to the same height and distance.
Have the headlamps masked or adjusted at a qualified specialist workshop before you
cross the border, but as close to it as possi-
ble. Driving tips
