Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operating Instructions Manual Download

Page: 120 / 354

Make sure that loads and items of luggage are

securely stored or lashed down (

page 207).

Before driving off-road, stop the vehicle and

engage a low gear.

Vehicles with DSR: activate DSR when you are

driving downhill (

page 150).

All-wheel drive vehicles with engine OM642 or

engine OM651: activate all-wheel drive

(

page 126) and, if necessary, activate the

LOW RANGE transmission ratio (

page 127).

If the surface requires, temporarily deactivate
ESP

when pulling away (

page 145).

Only drive off-road with the engine running and

a gear engaged.

Drive slowly and smoothly. It may often be nec-

essary to drive at walking pace.

Avoid spinning the drive wheels.

Ensure that the wheels remain in contact with

the ground.

As a precaution, get out of the vehicle to take a

look at the route to be taken. Exercise the

utmost caution when driving across unfamiliar,

unpredictable terrain.

Look out for obstacles (e.g. rocks, holes, tree

stumps and tire ruts).

Avoid edges where the surface could crumble

or break away.

Notes on driving when there is water on the road
Water which has entered the vehicle can damage

the engine, electrics and transmission.
Water can also enter the air intake fitting of the

engine and cause engine damage.
Observe the following if you must drive through
water:

The water, when calm, may only reach the

lower edge of the front bumper.

Drive at walking pace at most; water can other-

wise enter the vehicle interior or engine com-

partment.

Vehicles traveling in front, or oncoming vehi-

cles, can create waves which may exceed the

maximum permissible height of the water.

The braking effect of the brakes is reduced after

fording. Brake carefully while paying attention to

the traffic conditions until braking power has been

fully restored.
After the vehicle has forded at maximum depth

several times, all oils in the major assemblies (front

axle differential, locking differential, manual trans-

mission/automatic transmission and transfer

case) must be replaced.

Rules for off-road fording

Observe the safety notes and general notes on

driving off-road.

Check the depth and characteristics of the

body of water before fording. The water, when

calm, may only reach the lower edge of the

front bumper.

The climate control system is switched off

(

page 101).

The stationary heater is switched off

(

page 106).

Activate all-wheel drive and activate the LOW

RANGE transmission ratio (

page 127).

Restrict the shift range to 1 or 2.

Avoid high engine speeds.

Drive slowly and smoothly at no more than a

walking pace.

Ensure that no wave forms at the front of the

vehicle while driving.

After fording, dry the brakes.

After the vehicle has forded at maximum depth

several times, all oils in the major assemblies

(front axle differential, locking differential,

manual transmission/automatic transmission

and transfer case) must be replaced.

Check-list after driving off-road
Driving over rough terrain places greater demands

on your vehicle than normal road operation. Check

your vehicle after driving on rough terrain. This

allows you to detect damage promptly and reduce

the risk of an accident for yourself and other road

users. Clean your vehicle thoroughly before driving

on public roads.
If you find damage to the vehicle after off-road

driving, have the vehicle checked at a qualified

specialist workshop immediately.
Observe the following points after driving off-road,
on construction sites and before driving on public
roads:

Vehicles with DSR: deactivate DSR

(

page 150).

All-wheel drive vehicles with engine OM642 or

engine OM651: deactivate all-wheel drive

(

page 126).

Activate ESP

(

page 145).
