Off-road driving

Important safety notes

WARNING

If you drive on a steep incline at an angle or

turn when driving on an incline, the vehicle

could slip sideways, tip and rollover. There is a

risk of an accident.

Always drive on a steep incline in the line of

fall (straight up or down) and do not turn the

vehicle.

WARNING

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or

twigs may ignite if they come into contact with

hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk

of fire.

When driving off road or on unpaved roads,

check the vehicle's underside regularly. In

particular, remove parts of plants or other

flammable materials which have become

trapped. In the case of damage, contact a

qualified specialist workshop.

WARNING

If the vehicle level is high, the vehicle center of

gravity is raised. This could cause the vehicle

to tip over more easily on uphill or downhill

gradients. There is a risk of an accident.

Select the lowest possible vehicle level.

There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:

the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high

curb or an unpaved road

you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a

curb, a speed bump or a pothole in the road

a heavy object strikes the underbody or

parts of the chassis

In situations like this, the body, the under-

body, chassis parts, wheels or tires could be

damaged without the damage being visible.

Components damaged in this way can unex-

pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no

longer withstand the loads they are designed

to.

If the underbody paneling is damaged, com-

bustible materials such as leaves, grass or

twigs can gather between the underbody and

the underbody paneling. If these materials

come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust

system, they can catch fire.

In such situations, have the vehicle checked

and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop. If on continuing your jour-

ney you notice that driving safety is impaired,

pull over and stop the vehicle immediately,

paying attention to road and traffic condi-

tions. In such cases, consult a qualified spe-

cialist wor

kshop.

hen driving off-road, substances such as sand,

mud and water or water mixed with oil may get

into the brakes. This could result in a reduced

braking effect or in total brake failure and also in

increased wear and tear. The braking charac-

teristics change depending on the material

entering the brakes. Clean the brakes after driv-

ing off-road. If you detect a reduced braking

effect or grinding noises, have the brake system

checked in a qualified specialist workshop as

soon as possible. Adapt your driving style to the

different braking characteristics.

Driving off-road increases the likelihood of dam-

age to the vehicle, which, in turn, can lead to

failure of the mechanical assembly or systems.

Adapt your driving style to suit the terrain con-

ditions. Drive carefully. Have damage to the

vehicle rectified immediately at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop.

Do not switch to transmission position N when

driving off-road. If you try to brake the vehicle

using the service brake, you could lose control

of the vehicle. If the gradient is too steep for your

vehicle, drive back down in reverse gear.

General notes

Environmental note

Protection of the environment is of primary

importance. Treat nature with respect.

Observe all prohibiting signs.

Read this section carefully before driving your

vehicle off-road. Practice by driving over more

gentle off-road terrain first.
