Off-road driving rules
!
Observe the following during off-road
driving:
ț
In sandy soil, please drive at a
steady speed as allowed by condi-
tions. This helps overcome the vehi-
cle rolling resistance and reduces
the likelihood of the vehicle sinking
into the ground.
ț
Engage the Off-road driving program
(୴ page 248) before driving under
off-road conditions.
ț
Adjust vehicle speed to condition of
terrain. The more uneven, rutty and
steeper the terrain, the lower the
speed should be.
ț
If equipped with vehicle level control*,
make sure you select a vehicle level ap-
propriate to the topographical condi-
tions. Always make sure the vehicle
has enough ground clearance.
ț
ț
Do not initiate jumps with the vehi-
cle. It interrupts the forward mo-
mentum of the vehicle.
ț
ț
Watch out for obstacles, such as
rocks, holes, tree stumps and ruts.
Always drive onto slopes with the
engine running and the vehicle in
gear.
ț
ț
Fasten items being carried as securely
as possible (୴ page 259).
Be especially careful when driving
in unknown territory. It may be nec-
essary to get out of the vehicle and
scout the path you intend to take.
Always navigate gradients with the en-
gine on and with the transmission en-
gaged in a gear. Switch on the DSR
Checklist before off-road driving
ț
ț
Before driving through water, deter-
mine its depth.
(୴ page 245) to help maintain a preset
Engine oil level
speed.
Do not stop vehicle while immersed
in water, and do not shut off the
engine.
Check the engine oil level with the
control system (ML 500 only)
(୴ page 328), or with the oil dipstick
(ML 350 only) (୴ page 330).
ț
i
We recommend keeping doors, tail-
gate, windows, and tilt/sliding sun-
roof* closed whenever driving in
off-road mode.
Only with a proper oil level can the
vehicle obtain a trouble-free oil supply,
even on steep gradients.
