Checklist before off-road driving
Rims
ț
Avoid excessive engine
speeds – drive at moderate engine
speeds (max. 3000 rpm).
ț
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.
Engine oil level
ț Check the engine oil level
ț
ț
Before driving through water, deter-
mine its depth.
(୴ page 240). The display ENGINE OIL
LEVEL - OK must appear in the multi-
function display.
Do not stop vehicle while immersed
in water, and do not shut off the en-
gine.
Vehicle tool kit
Only then can the vehicle obtain a trou-
ble-free oil supply, even on steep gradi-
ents.
ț
ț
Check if the vehicle jack is functional.
ț
In sandy soil, drive at a steady
speed as allowed by conditions.
This helps overcome the vehicle
rolling resistance and reduces the
likelihood of the vehicle sinking into
the ground.
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.
Tires
ț
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 (୴ page 251)).
ț
ț
ț
Do not initiate jumps with the vehi-
cle. It interrupts the forward mo-
mentum of the vehicle.
ț
ț
Check tires for possible damage and
remove foreign objects.
Always drive on slopes with the en-
gine running and the vehicle in
gear.
Replace missing valve caps.
Inspect the vehicle for possible
damage after each off-road trip.
