2019 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER octane

FUEL: DIESEL
Your New Sprinter Requires
Ultra- Low S ulfur Diesel Fuel. All
stations pumping diesel fuel in the
vicinity of an interstate must offer
this fuel. This fuel is clear to
yellowish in color.
JUMP- STARTING
Push the red shroud back and twist to expose the
connector. This is the place to attach the positive
jumper cable. The negat ive connection is on the
driver’s side fender under the hood and looks like
a brass post. If your vehicle is equipped with a
battery under the hood, this is an auxiliary battery.
D O NOT ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START THE UNDER
HOOD BATTERY! This could be dangerous,
allowing for potential explosion of the battery.
Use fuels with Bio-Diesel content of 5%
maximum whenever possible. (Owners
Manu al pg. 328)
NOTE: If gasoline is accidentally added to the
fuel tank, t his can cause catastrophic failures if
vehicle is operated (not covered under
Warranty).

If the problem is noticed immediately and only a
small amount of gasoline has been added, it is
possible to prevent severe damage by
immediately draining and flushing the fuel
system.
If this icon is displayed, it indicates
water in the fuel. Drain the fuel filter
with water separator immediately.
Otherwise, the engine may be damaged.

YOU ASKED. WE ANSWERED.
We took your most frequently asked questions about your Sprinter Van and put the
experts to work. The result? This handy quick guide full of answers.
Use it as your go-to tool for questions on everything from doors and lights to what’s going
on under the hood. For further information not listed here, refer to your Owner’s Manual.

You use the DIRECT SELECT lever to switch the
transmission position. The current
transmission position appears in the
multifunction display.
MANUALLY OPERATING THE

If there is a dead battery or a malfunction the
door can be disconnected for manual operation
Turn release knob to manual th en unlock door

There is a secondary safety catch that must be
released by sliding your hand under the hood
slightly to the left of the center to release the

Your vehicle i s equipped with
a variable oil change interval,
ASSYST Active Service
System. Oil change intervals
may vary from 7,000- 20,000
m iles based on driving style.
The main purpose of the
ASSYST system is to help the
customer achieve a maximum
vehicle powertrain life.
• Engine oil quality
• Average RPM level
• Towing • Number
of cold starts
• Trailer operation
• Idle time
•
Press twice to turn on ignition power (without
brake applied)
• Press once with brake applied to start
engine
The ASSYST system will notify you via the
instrument cluster when a service is required.
Services alternate from A to B. Service intervals
are based on several factors:
reducing NOx emissions and converting almost all of
the Hydrocarbon and Nitrous Oxide emissions into
harmless water vapor and Nitrogen. Should the DEF
level drop down, advanced warnings will be displayed
in the instrument cluster. Please remember DEF is not
to be added to the coolant, the fuel tank, or the
engine oil. Ensure you are filling at the correct
location, avoiding inadvertent vehicle damage.
DEF and Mileage range will be displayed in Instrument
cluster under the Service Menu. Levels below t he
reserve mark will activate refill reminder messages.
Note: Avoid overfilling the DEF tank.
When adding DEF after reaching the reserve level do
not add more than 12 liters of DEF or approx. 3
gallons, to avoid overfilling of DEF tank.
DEF level may not displayed if the DE F is frozen, wait
20 minutes for the Heat ers to warm the fluid before

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
This system will alert you to a substantial tire
pressure variation. Tire pressures are critical on
any commercial vehicle but especially on
a
Passenger Van . It is important to check
pressures at least monthly and before a long
trip. The correct pressures are posted on a label
on the driver’s door frame.
Tire pressure will fluctuate depending on the
current ambient temperature and the
temperature of the tire.
