Checklist before driving off-road

Engine oil level: check the engine oil level

and add oil if necessary.

When driving on steep gradients, the

engine oil level must be sufficiently high to

ensure a correct oil supply in the vehicle.

Wheels and tires: check the tire tread

depth and tire pressure.

Check for damage and remove any foreign

objects, e.g. small stones, from the

wheels/tires.

Replace any missing valve caps.

Replace dented or damaged wheels.

Rims: dented or bent rims can result in a

loss of tire pressure and damage the tire

bead. Before driving off-road, check the

wheels and replace them if necessary.

Checklist after driving off-road

If you detect damage to the vehicle after

driving off-road, have the vehicle checked

immediately at a qualified specialist work-

shop.

Deactivate off-road program (Y page 157).

Deactivate DSR (Y page 197).

Clean the headlamps and rear lights and

check for damage.

Clean the front and rear license plates.

Clean the wheels and tires with a water jet

and remove any foreign objects.

Clean the wheels, wheel housings and the

vehicle underside with a water jet; check

for any foreign objects and damage.

Check whether twigs or other parts of

plants have become trapped. These

increase the risk of fire and can damage

fuel pipes, brake hoses or the rubber bel-

lows of the axle joints and propeller shafts.

After the trip, examine without fail the

entire undercarriage, wheels, tires, brakes,

bodywork structure, steering, chassis and

exhaust system for damage.

After driving in sand, mud, gravel, water or

similar dirty conditions, have the following

checked and cleaned:

brake discs

wheels

brake pads

axle joints

If you detect strong vibrations after off-road

travel, check for foreign objects in the

wheels and drive train and remove them if

necessary. Foreign objects can disturb the

balance and cause vibrations.

Driving over poor road surfaces places

greater demands on your vehicle than driving

on normal roads. After driving off-road, check

the vehicle. This allows you to detect damage

promptly and reduce the risk of an accident to

yourself and other road users.

Driving on sand

Observe the following rules when driving on

sand:

Activate the off-road program

(

Y page 157).

Avoid high engine speeds.

Use the left-hand steering wheel paddle

shifter to shift to a lower gear appropriate

to the terrain.

Drive quickly to overcome the rolling resist-

ance. Otherwise the vehicle's wheels could

become stuck in loose ground.

Drive in the tracks of other vehicles if pos-

sible. Make sure that:

the tire ruts are not too deep.

the sand is sufficiently firm.

the ground clearance of the vehicle is

sufficient.

Tire ruts and gravel roads

Check that the ruts are not too deep and

that your vehicle has sufficient clearance.
