Driving instructions
After off-road driving or crossing obstacles,
inspect vehicle for any damage, especially
vehicle underbody and suspension components.
Failure to do so can adversely affect the vehi-
cle’s future performance, including increased
chance of an accident.
Returning from off-road driving
Warning!
Off-road driving increases strain on the
vehicle.

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.
Never drive on pavement with activated
differential locks. Engaged front axle differ-
ential locks limits ability to move around
curves.

Check the vehicle clearance before
driving in ruts.
Proceed as follows:
ț
Comply with the warnings
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.

Select gear range 1 on the automatic
transmission (୴ page 167).
Switch differential locks off
(୴ page 176).
Drive slowly next to the ruts rather than
through them if at all possible.
Clean all exterior lamps and check
them for possible damage.
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.
If the ruts are too deep to drive in, drive
with one side of the vehicle on the
grassy center strip if the route permits.

ț
Clean the front and rear license plate.
Remove excessive dirt from tires,
wheels, wheel housings, and under-
body.
Damage to the vehicle may influence driving
comfort and poses the risk of accident to
you and other drivers.
For instance, after driving in mud, clean
the radiator, chassis, engine, brakes,
and wheels from extreme dirt using a
strong jet of water.
