The 2018-19 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van has been recalled to fix a mistake in the owner’s manual.
“The operator’s manual misrepresents some of the situations that lead to automatic engagement of the park position ‘P’ (Auto-P function),” Mercedes-Benz Vans says in its recall notice.
“The park position is engaged automatically only if the engine is switched off in transmission positions ‘D’ or ‘R’ or if the driver’s door is opened in this transmission position while the vehicle is at a standstill or moving at very low speed.
“The operator’s manual incorrectly describes that the park position automatically engages when the seat belt buckle is released or when getting out of the seat while the vehicle is at a standstill or moving at very low speed. These actions do not lead to automatic engagement of the park position.”
Mercedes-Benz Vans will contact owners and arrange to supply them with a supplementary booklet to amend the manual.
