Driving instructions

After climbing a hill, driving in this manner
prevents the vehicle from:
Driving through water
Rlosing ground contact when cresting hills
Rlosing its forward momentum
Rspeeding up too much after climbing the hill
Driving downhill
RDrive slowly.
RDo not drive at an angle to the incline. Steer
into the line of gravity and drive with the
front wheels pointing straight downhill.
Otherwise, the vehicle may slide sideways
off the path and roll over.

RShift automatic transmission into gear

ROn steep inclines, use the Downhill Speed

in (50 cm)
RUtilize the engine’s braking power to
reduce vehicle speed.
If this is insufficient, apply the brakes
gently. Make sure the vehicle is moving in
the line of gravity.
RBefore driving through water, determine its
depth.
! The water depth must not exceed the
respective value listed in the table. The
ground under the water might not be firm
which could result the water being deeper
than expected when driving the vehicle
through it. Please note that the water level
is correspondingly lower for flowing water.
RCheck the brakes after a lengthy
downgrade drive.
i The special Off-road ABS (Y page 62)
setting allows for precise and brief
(cyclical) blocking of the front wheels,
permitting them to dig into loose ground.
Remember that, when stopped, the front
wheels slide across a surface and thus lose
their ability to steer the vehicle.
RVehicles with air suspension program:
Select the highest vehicle level possible
(Y page 156).
RSwitch to off-road driving program
(
Y page 155) before driving through water.
RShift automatic transmission into gear
range 1 or 2 (Y page 113).
RAvoid high engine speeds.
REnter and leave the water only at a shallow
spot, driving at walking speed.
!
Never accelerate before driving into the
water. The bow wave could force water into
