Driving instructions
Checklist before off-road driving
Engine oil level
앫
Check the engine oil level with the oil
dipstick (
컄
page 381).
Only with a proper oil level can the
vehicle obtain a trouble-free oil supply,
even on steep gradients.
Tires
앫
Check the tread depth and maintain
specified tire inflation pressure
(a placard with the recommended tire
inflation pressures is located on the
driver’s door B-pillar (
컄
page 389)).
앫
Check tires for possible damage and
remove foreign objects.
앫
Replace missing valve caps.
Rims
앫
Dented or bent rims can cause tire in-
flation pressure loss and damage the
tire beads. For this reason, check and,
if necessary, change rims before driv-
ing off-road.
Vehicle tool kit
앫
Check if the vehicle jack (
컄
page 497)
is functional.
앫
In all cases take the vehicle tool kit, a
strong tow rope, a shovel and a small
plank (to put under the vehicle jack on
sandy soil) with you.
앫
In sandy soil, drive at a steady speed as al-
lowed by conditions. This helps overcome
the vehicle rolling resistance and reduces
the likelihood of the vehicle sinking into the
ground.
앫
Do not initiate jumps with the vehicle. It
interrupts the forward momentum of the
vehicle.
앫
Always drive onto slopes with the engine
running and the vehicle in gear.
앫
Do not shift automatic transmission to
position
N .
Warning!
G
Do not reduce the tire inflation pressure
before driving through sand. However, if you
do so, remember to correct the tire inflation
pressure (
컄
page 396) before continuing
your trip. Driving with reduced tire inflation
pressure increases the risk of losing control
of the vehicle and rolling over.
!
If the engine oil level warning lamp
(
컄
page 476) comes on while driving, stop the
vehicle in a safe location or as soon at is safe to
do so. Check the engine oil level (
컄
page 381).
The engine oil level warnings should not be
ignored. Extended driving with the symbol
displayed could result in serious engine damage
that is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
