General notes
Only vehicles with dual-zone automatic climate
control have the residual heat function.
Once the engine is switched off, it is possible to
make use of the residual heat of the engine to
continue heating or ventilating the front com-
partment of the vehicle for approximately
30 minutes. The heating or ventilation time
depends on the set interior temperature.

Refueling
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. Improper handling of
fuel creates a risk of fire and explosion.
Avoid fire, open flames, smoking and creating
sparks under all circumstances. Switch off the
engine and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating
before refueling.
GWARNING
Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a risk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing
and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel
vapors. Keep fuel away from children.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
RWash away fuel from skin immediately
using soap and water.
RIf fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical assistance with-
out delay.
RIf fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay. Do not induce vomit-
ing.
RImmediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel.
GWARNING
Electrostatic buildup can create sparks and
ignite fuel vapors. There is a risk of fire and
explosion.
Always touch the vehicle body before opening
the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump
nozzle. Any existing electrostatic buildup is
thereby discharged.

of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic

The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
Rtraff iclights
Rstop and giveway signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rother road and traffic rules and regulations
The multimedia system may provide incorrect
navigation announcements if the surroundings
do not correspond to the data on the digital
map. For example, a route may have been diver-
ted or the direction of a one-way street may have
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
jo urney. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over the system's driving
recommendations.

Multimedia systems in brief
Comply with the foll owing safety precautions
and take protective measures when handlin g
batteries.
Risk of explos ion. Explosive oxyhy-
drogen isproduced when batteries
are bein g charge d.Only charge bat-
teries in well- ventilated areas.
Fire, open flames and smoking are
therefore pro hibited when working
on the battery. Avoid creating
sparks.
Battery acid iscaustic. Avoid con-
tact with the skin, eyes or clothing.
Wear acid-proof protective gloves. If
skin or clothes are splashed with
acid, neutr alize the splashes imme-
diat elywith soapy water or an acid
neutr alizer, and then clean the affec-
ted areas with water. Consult a doc-
tor ifnecessary.
Wear eye protection. When mixing
water and acid, the liquidcan splash
into your eyes. Rinse acid splashes
to the eyes immediately with clean
water and contact a doctor immedi-
ately.
Keep ch ildren at a safe distance.
Childr en are not ableto assess the
dangers posed bybatteries and
acid.
When handlin g batteries, observe
the safety precautions and special
protective measures contained in
th is Operator's Manual.
HEnvironmental note
Batteries contain dangerous
substances. It isagainst the
law to dispose of them with
the household rubbish. They
must becollec ted separate ly
and recycled to protect the
environment.
Dispose of batteries inan
environmentally friendly
manner. Take discharged
batteries to a qualified spe-
cialist workshop or a special
co llec tion point for used bat-
teries. Observe the foll
owing notes:
RRecharge the battery more frequently, if you:
-predominantly drive short distances
-predominantly drive at low outside temper-
atures
-leave the vehicle parked for a lengthy
period
In order for the batteries to achieve their max-
imum possible service life, they must always
be sufficiently charge d.
RConsult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Com-
mercial Van Centerifyou wish to leave your
vehicle parked for a long period of time.
RWhen you park the vehicle, remove the key if
you do not require any electrical consumers.
The vehicle will then use very little energy,
thus conserving battery power.
RIf your vehicle requires jump-starting, or if you
wish to provide jump-starting assistance to
another vehicle, only use the jump-starting
connection point in the engine compartment
(
Ypage 272).
RHave the battery removed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Installation locations
Your vehicle may be equipped with three bat-
teries, depending on the equipment version:
RStarter battery in the seat base of the right-
hand front seat
RAuxiliary battery inthe seat base of the right-
hand front seat
RAdditional battery inthe seat base of the left-
hand front seat
Disconnecting and removing
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.
