Operating safety
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
Observe the legal requirements for the country
you are in.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 50 km/h the
vehicle covers about 14 m every second.
When using the device please follow:
Rthe safety information in these instructions
Rtraffic rules and regulations
Rmotor vehicle laws and safety standards
GWARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems

result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.

Sprinter rear view camera
Important safety notes
!Objects that are not at ground level appear
further away than they actually are, for exam-
ple:
Rthe bumper of the vehicle parked behind
Rthe drawbar of a trailer
Rthe ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
Rthe tail-end of a truck
Rslanted posts
Only use the camera guide lines for orienta-
tion. Do not get any closer to objects than the
lowest horizontal guide line. You may other-
wise damage your vehicle and/or the object.
The rear view camera is only an aid. It cannot
replace your own awareness of the immediate
surroundings. You are responsible for safe
maneuvering, parking and pulling away. Make
sure that there are no persons, animals or
objects in the maneuvering area while maneu-
vering and parking in parking spaces.
The rear view camera may show obstacles in
perspectival distortion, incorrectly or not at all.
The rear view camera cannot display all objects
located very near and/or under the rear
bumper. It does not warn you of a collision, per-
sons or objects.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed in a
mirrored fashion, as in the rear-view mirror or
the exterior mirrors.
The rear view camera covers the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle and assists you, for
example, when parking.
Under the following circumstances, the rear
view camera will not function, or will function in
a limited manner:
Rthere is very heavy rain, snow or fog
Rat night or in very dark places
Rthe parking space is located in a very dark
place
Rif the area is illuminated with fluorescent light-
ing (the display may flicker)
Rif the temperature changes very quickly, for
example if you drive into a heated garage in
the winter
Rambient temperatures are very high
Rthe camera lens is dirty or obstructed
Rif the rear of the vehicle is damaged
In this case, have the camera position and
setting checked at a qualified specialist work-
shop
Rear view camera operation
The image from the rear view camera is shown in
the display when reverse gear is engaged if:
Ryour vehicle is equipped with a rear view cam-
era
Rthe ignition is switched on
Guide lines in the display (depending on the
vehicle's equipment) help you with backing up.
Static guide lines
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the rear
view camera image displays static guide lines.
These guide lines assist you with backing up.
The static guidelines have the following mean-
ings:
:Distance from the rear of the vehicle, 10 ft
(3 m)
;Vehicle width (to outer edge of wheels)
=Vehicle width including exterior mirrors
?Vehicle center mark (e.g. to improve visibil-
ity of a trailer drawbar)
AMinimum distance to rear of the vehicle
(dependent on width of step)
BDistance from the rear of the vehicle, 3 ft
(1 m)
iPlease note that all distance specifications
are approximate. Additional attachments,
such as access steps, are not accounted for in
these distance specifications.

Pairing and unpairing a Bluetooth®

What does pairing mean?
When pairing, an authorized connection is
established between the multimedia system
and the Bluetooth®device.
Your mobile Bluetooth®device must be visible.
Information on how to make your Bluetooth®
device visible can be found in the operating
instructions of your Bluetooth®device.
If the multimedia system and the Bluetooth®
device are paired, they will connect automati-
cally as soon as there is a Bluetooth®connec-
tion.
iThe multimedia system saves the pairing
data of up to 10 Bluetooth®devices. If an
additional Bluetooth®device is coupled, the
multimedia system overwrites the pairing
data for the Bluetooth®device that has not
been connected to it for the longest period of
time.
There are two ways of pairing:
RBluetooth®pairing: the multimedia system
searches for the Bluetooth®device and starts
the pairing process.
RBluetooth®external: the Bluetooth®device
searches for the multimedia system and
starts the pairing process.
iIf you pair a mobile phone as an audio
device, it is automatically paired as a mobile
phone as well, as long as your mobile phone
supports this.
