R Engage the dif fere ntial lo cks if necessary
(/ page 161).
In LOW RANGE off-road gear or with the dif fer‐

depress the brake pedal. This can help you, for
ex ample, when rock ing your vehicle out of a rut
("rocking free").
R Alw ayske ep the engine running and in gear

mountainous terrain.
R Do not drive on unknown terrain that is not
easily visible and stay on mar kedro utes.

Driving on sand
When driving on sand, also obser vethefo llowing
instructions:
R Swit chtothe Desert drive prog ram (a vailabil‐
ity depending on country) (/ page151).
R Shift toa lo werge ar.
R Drive quickly to overcome thero lling resist‐
ance, otherwise theve hicle may dig itself in.
R Drive in the trac ksofother vehicles if possi‐
ble. Make sure that thefo llowing prerequi‐
sites are me t:
- the tyre ruts are not too deep
- the sand is firm enough
- the ground clearance is suf ficient
R Lowe rth e tyre pressure in all four wheels. Contrary
tothe information on the tyre pres‐
sure plate (fuel filler flap), you can lo werthe
tyre pressu reto120 kPa (1.2 bar/1 7.4 psi).
Mercedes-AMG vehicles: observeth e no tes in
th e Supplement. Otherwise, you may failto rec‐
ognise dangers.
% Once youstop driving on sand, immediately
increase the tyre pressure again.
Information on there commended tyre pres‐
su re forth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can
be found on the tyre pressure table on the
inside of the fuel filler flap (/ page410).

R Drive at no more than 10 km/h.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible ford ing

WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tyres pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tyres may bur st, especially as the
load and vehicle speed increase. R
The tyres may wearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tyre
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tyre
pressure and check the tyre pressure of
all tyres including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
R at least once a month
R when the load changes
R before embarking on a lon ger journey
R if operating conditions change, e.g. off-
ro ad driving #
Adjust the tyre pressure as necessar y. Driving wi
thtyre pressu rethat is too high or too
low can:
R Sho rten the service life of the tyres.
R Cause increased tyre damage. R
Adversely af fect driving characteristics and
th us driving saf ety, e.g. due toaquaplaning. &
WARNING Risk of accident from repea‐
te d tyre pressure drop
If th e tyre pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tyre pressure can cause the tyres
to bur st. #
Inspect the tyre for signs of fore ign
objects. #
Check whe ther the wheel or valve has a
leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
conta ct aqualified specialist workshop. Information on
there commended tyre pressure
fo rth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap (/ page410).
Use a sui table pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure. Wheels and tyres

hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: you can also check the tyre pressure using
th e on-board computer.
Only cor rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
A rise in the tyre temp erature of 10°C increases
th e tyre pressure byappr ox.10 kPa (0.1 bar/
1. 5 psi). Take this into account when checking
th e tyre pressure of warm tyres.

Note s on driving on sand
When driving on sand, you can lo werth e tyre

re pressure table The tyre pressure
table is on the inside of the
fuel filler flap. The tyre pressure
table sho ws there commended
tyre pressure for all tyres appro vedfo rth is vehi‐
cle. The recommended tyre pressures apply for
cold tyres under various operating conditions,
i.e. loading and/or speed of theve hicle.
If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pres‐
sure, the tyre pressure information following is
only valid forth ose tyre sizes.
If th e preceding tyre sizes are complemented by

These tyre pressures may impr oveyour vehicle's
