Returning from off-road driving
Warning!
Off-road driving increases strain on the ve-
hicle.
ț
Remove excessive dirt from tires,
wheels, wheel housings, and under-
body.

We recommend that you inspect the vehi-
cle for possible damage after each off-road
trip. Recognizing any damage and a subse-
quent timely repair reduces the chance of
a possible breakdown or accident later on.
For instance, after driving in mud, clean
the radiator, chassis, engine, brakes,
and wheels from extreme dirt using a
strong jet of water.
Never drive on pavement with activated dif-
ferential locks. Engaged front axle differen-
tial locks limits ability to move around
curves.
Proceed as follows:
ț
ț
Inspect frame, oil pan, brake hoses,
etc., as well as vehicle underbody for
possible damage.
If you feel a sudden significant vibration or
ride disturbance, or you suspect that possi-
ble damage to your vehicle has occurred,
you should turn on the hazard warning flash-
ers, carefully slow down, and drive with cau-
tion to an area which is a safe distance from
the roadway.
ț
Switch the transfer case in position
HIGH (୴ page 154).
Check tires for possible damage and
remove foreign objects. Clean all exte-
rior lamps and conduct a brake test.
ț
Disengage differential locks
(୴ page 159).
Inspect the tires and under the vehicle for
possible damage. If the vehicle or tires ap-
pear unsafe, have it towed to the nearest
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center or tire
dealer for repairs.
Damage to the vehicle negatively influences
driving comfort and poses the risk of acci-
dent to you and other drivers.
