XReplace the fuse; see the "Fuse allocation" supplement.
XHave the cause of the blown fuse determined at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
or
A malfunction has occurred.
XSwitch the ignition on and off twice.
If the auxiliary heating still cannot be switched on, the heating device
is faulty.
XHave the auxiliary heating checked at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
The auxiliary heating is
overheated.The coolant level is too low.
XCheck the coolant level and add more coolant if necessary
(Ypage 222).
Auxiliary warm-air heater
Operation with the timer
Important safety notes
GDANGER
If a switch-on time has been selected, the
auxiliary heating switches on automatically.
RIf the ventilation is insufficient, poisonous
exhaust gases can collect, in particular car-
bon monoxide. This is the case in enclosed
spaces, for example. There is a risk of fatal
injuries.
RIf highly flammable substances or flamma-
ble materials are nearby, there is a risk of a
risk of fire and explosion.
Always deactivate the preselected switch-on
times if you stop the vehicle in such or similar situations.
Use the timer to:
Ractivate and deactivate immediate heating
mode
Rset up to three switch-on times
Rset the operating duration to between 10 and
120 minutes or to continuous operation
Rset the heating level (preselected tempera-
ture) to a range between 10 and 30

Problems with the auxiliary warm-air heater
ProblemPossible causes/consequences andMSolutions
The auxiliary heating
does not switch on.The outside temperature is above 39 ‡ (4 †). The auxiliary heating
switches off automatically.
The auxiliary heating
switches off automati-
cally and/or cannot be
switched on.The fuel tank is less thanÕfull. The auxiliary heating switches off
automatically.
XRefuel at the nearest gas station.
XThen, start the auxiliary heating several times until the fuel lines are
full.
or
The low-voltage protection system integrated in the control unit
switches off the auxiliary heating because the on-board voltage is less
than 10 V.
XHave the alternator and battery checked.
or
The fuse is blown.
XReplace the fuse; see the "Fuse allocation" supplement.
XHave the cause of the blown fuse determined at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Operating the cargo compartment air

If your vehicle is equipped with a roof ventilator,
you can ventilate and extract air from the cargo
compartment.
XTurn the key to position 2in the ignition lock.
XTo activate and extract air: press the upper
section of the ´switch.
The roof ventilator removes used air from the
cargo compartment.
XTo activate and ventilate: press the lower
section of the ·switch.

Do not run the engine for longer than neces-
sary when the vehicle is stationary.
Before having maintenance and repairs per-
formed, it is essential to read the materials rela-
ted to the maintenance and repairs:
Rthe applicable sections of the technical doc-
umentation, e.g. the Operator's Manual and
workshop information.
Rregulations such as industrial safety regula-
tions and accident prevention regulations.
While working under the vehicle, you must
secure the vehicle on jack stands with sufficient load capacity.
Never use the jack as a substitute. The vehicle's
jack is intended only to raise the vehicle for a
short time when changing a wheel. It is not
suited for performing maintenance work under
the vehicle.
Please also refer to the notes about qualified
specialist workshops (
Ypage 26).
The scope and regularity of the inspection and
maintenance work primarily depend on the
often diverse operating conditions. Specialist
knowledge beyond the scope of this Operator's
Manual is required when carrying out testing
and maintenance work. This work should only be
carried out by trained staff.
The vehicle Maintenance Booklet describes the scope and fre que
ncy of maintenance work and
contains additional notes on the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty and on service products.
Maintenance services must be carried out in
accordance with the provisions and recommen-
dations in the Maintenance Booklet. Not doing
so could void the warranty claim and lead to
refusal of goodwill gestures after the manufac-
turer has submitted a damage report.
iObserve the notes on genuine Sprinter parts
(Ypage 28).
Service interval display
General notes
A service that is due is displayed in the service
interval display about 1 month in advance. A
message is then displayed while the vehicle is in
motion or when the ignition is switched on.
iThe service interval display does not provide
information about the engine oil level. The service interval display should therefore not
be confused with the
5engine oil level
display.
The service due date is displayed in days or
miles (kilometers), depending on the total dis-
tance driven.
The symbols or letters on the service display
show the type of service that is due.
¯ orA
for a minor service
° orB
for a major service
Service due date display
Vehicles with steering wheel buttons: the
following messages may be displayed.
R¯ Service A due in ... days
R¯Service A due in ... mi(km)
R¯ Service A Carry out now
Vehicles without steering wheel buttons:
the following messages may be displayed.
R¯for service A
R°for Service B
Additionally, you will see the remaining distance
in miles ( mi
) or kilometers ( km) or the remaining
time in days ( d).
Service due date has been exceeded
Vehicles with steering wheel buttons: if you
have missed the service due date, one of the
following messages appears in the display and
warning tone also sounds.
R¯ Service A overdue by ... days
R¯Service A overdue by ... km(km)
Vehicles without steering wheel buttons: if
you have missed the service due date, the ¯
or ° symbol for the service flashes for
10 seconds after the ignition is switched on. A
minus sign also appears in front of the service
due date.
Calling up the service due date
XTurn the key to position 2in the ignition lock.
The display is activated.

Disconnecting/connecting the
starter battery
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.
Battery cover in the left footwell
XSwitch off all electrical consumers.
XSwitch off the engine and remove the key
from the ignition lock.
XRemove the floor covering (Ypage 228).
XLoosen screws ;and slide battery cover :
in the direction of the arrow.
The screws must protrude beyond the larger
recesses.
XRemove battery cover :upwards.
Starter battery in the left footwell
XFirst loosen and remove the negative terminal
clamp so that it is no longer in contact with
the terminal.
XRemove the cover from the positive terminal.
XLoosen the positive terminal clamp and fold it
up to the side together with the pre-fuse box.
