ance.

Check that items of cargo and loads are
stowed safely and are well secured
(

when driving on a downhill gradient. Activate
DSR (

R
Always keep the engine running and in gear
when driving down an incline.
R
Adapt your speed to the terrain. The rougher,
steeper or more ruts on the terrain, the slower
your speed should be.
R
Do not jump with the vehicle as this will inter-
rupt the vehicle's propulsion.

Drive with extreme care on unfamiliar off-road
routes where visibility is poor. For safety rea-
sons, get out of the vehicle first and survey
the off-road route.
R
Look out for obstacles, such as rocks, holes,
tree stumps and furrows.

hill slope or when driving across a slope. The
vehicle could otherwise tip over.

windows and the sliding sunroof closed while
the vehicle is in motion.

position i.

cialist workshop.

off-road, on steep uphill or downhill gradients
or on slippery or loose surfaces. The HOLD
function cannot hold the vehicle on such sur-
faces.
Checklist before driving off-road
!
If the engine oil warning lamp lights up while
the vehicle is in motion, stop the vehicle in a
safe place as soon as possible. Check the
engine oil level. The engine oil warning lamp
warning must not be ignored. Continuing the
journey while the symbol is displayed could
lead to engine damage.

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.

DEF tank (BlueTEC vehicles): check the
level and add if necessary (
Y page 158).
X
Tire-changing tool kit: check that the jack is
working and make sure you have the lug
wrench, a robust tow cable and a folding
spade in the vehicle.

Wheels and tires: check the tread depth and
pressure of the tires.

Check for damage and remove any foreign
objects, e.g. small stones, from the wheels/
tires.
