Returning from off-road driving
• Check for brush or branches caught in the
undercarriage. They could increase the possibility of
a fire, as well as cut fuel and/or brake lines,
puncture rubber bellows of the axles or drive shafts.
Off-road driving increases strain on the vehicle.
We recommend that you inspect the vehicle for possible
damage after each off-road trip. Recognizing any
damage and a subsequent timely repair reduces the
chance of a possible breakdown or accident later on.
Warning!
If you feel a sudden significant vibration or ride
disturbance, or you suspect that possible damage to
your vehicle has occurred, you should turn on the
hazard warning flashers, carefully slow down, and
drive with caution to an area which is a safe
distance from the roadway.
Proceed as follows:
•
•
Switch off the LOW RANGE mode, see page 209.
Remove excessive dirt from tires, wheels, wheel
housings, and underbody. For instance, after driving
in mud, clean the radiator, chassis, engine, brakes,
and wheels from extreme dirt, using a strong jet of
water.
Inspect the tires and under the vehicle for possible
damage. If the vehicle or tires appear unsafe, have
it towed to the nearest Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center or tire dealer for repairs.
•
•
Inspect frame, oil pan, brake hoses, etc., as well as
vehicle underbody for possible damage.
Check tires for possible damage, clean all exterior
lamps, and conduct a brake test.
