These sy stems only workoptimally if they are
main tained exactly according tomanufacturer's
specifications. It is forth is reason that all work
on the engine should only be per form ed byquali‐
fi ed and authorized Mercedes-Benz Center tech‐
nicians.
Under no circum stances should engine settings
be changed. In addition, all specific main tenance
wo rkmust be per form ed at regular inter vals and
in compliance with the service regulations of the
dealer named in the imprint. Referto the Mainte‐
nance Booklet for de tails.
Note s on short-distance trips
If th eve hicle is predominantly used for short-dis‐
ta nce driving, fuel may accumulate in the engine
oil and cause engine damage.
If yo u main lydrive short dis tances, you should
drive on a free way or go for a country drive for 20 minutes
every480 km (300 miles). This facili‐

Mercedes-Benz recommends a qualified special‐
ist workshop for programming the speed limit.
No tethat you cannot exceed a programmed limit

off-road When driving off-road or on unpa
ved sur fa‐
ces, fore ign bodies such as stones and
branches could become trapped on theve hi‐
cle underside, on wheels and tires, causing
damage totheve hicle.

damage:
R Damage the suspension, the fuel tank or

After driving off-road, check carefully
whe ther there is any damage tothe

Ifth ere is damage, ha vetheve hicle
ch ecked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. When driving off-road or on unpa
ved sur faces,
ch eck theve hicle underside, wheels and tires
re gularly at regular inter vals. In particular,
re mo veany trapped fore ign bodies, such as
st ones and branches.
Obser vethefo llowing no tesre ga rding fore ign
bodies of this kind:
R They may damage the suspension, the fuel
ta nk or the brake sy stem.
R They may disturb the balance and cause
vibrations.
R They may be flung out from theve hicle when
yo u continue driving.
If th ere is any damage, inform a qualified special‐
ist workshop.
When driving off-road on steep inclines, you must
make sure that the DEF tank is su fficiently filled.
Therefore, ensure a le vel of at least ten li ters
before off-road driving.
When driving off-road and on con stru ction sites,
sand, mud and water,also mixed with oil, can get
into the brakes. This may lead toare duction in
braking ef fect or total brake failure, also as a
re sult of increased wear. The braking characteris‐
tics will vary depending on the material that has
got into the sy stem. Clean the brakes af ter driv‐
ing off-road. If youth en notice a reduced braking
ef fect or hear scraping noises, ha vethe brake sy
stem checked immediately at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. Adjust your driving style to the
ch anged braking characteristics.
Driving off- road or on con stru ction sites increa‐
ses the possibility of vehicle damage which may
in turn lead tothefa ilure of cer tain major assem‐
blies and sy stems. Adapt your driving style to the
off-road driving conditions. Drive carefull y.Ha ve
any vehicle damage rectified at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop as soon as possible.
When driving on rough cross-country terrain, do
not shift the transmission toneutral and do not
disengage the clutch. You could lose control
when attem pting tobrake theve hicle with the
service brake. If your vehicle cannot manage an
uphill incline, drive back down in reve rsege ar.
When loading your vehicle for off-road driving or
on a construction site, keep theve hicle's center
of gr avity as low as possible.
Checklist before off-road driving R Check the fuel and DEF le vels (/ page175)
and refill if necessary (/ page133).
R Engine: check the oil le vel and add oil if nec‐
essary (/ page 281). Before driving up or
down extreme inclines or slopes, fill th e oil to
th e maximum le vel.
% If
yo u drive up or down extreme inclines or
slopes, the00B2 symbol may appear in the
multifunction displa y.The engine operating
saf ety is not put at risk if you ha vefilled the
engine oil tothe maximum le vel before the
jou rney.
R Vehicle tool kit: check that the jack is work‐
ing (/ page 327).
R Make sure that a lug wrench (/ page 327), a
wo oden underlay forth e jac k,aro bust tow
ro pe, a folding spade and a wheel chock
(depending on equipment) are car ried in the
ve hicle.
R Tire s and wheels: check the tire tread dep th
( / page 308) and the tire pressure
(/ page 316).

WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tire pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tires pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tires may bur st, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R The tires may wearexcessively and/or
une venly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tire
pressure and check the tire pressure of
all tires 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 tire pressure as necessar y. Driving wi
thtire pressure that is too high or too
low has thefo llowing consequences:
R Shor tenth e service life of the tires.
R Cause increased tire damage.
R Adversely af fect handling characteristics and
th us driving saf ety, e.g. due tohydroplaning. &
WARNING Risk of an accident due to
insuf ficient tire pressure
Ti re s with pressure that is too low can over‐
heat and bur stas a result.
In addition, they also suf fer from excessive
and/or ir regular wear, which can significantly
impair the braking properties and the han‐
dling characteristics. #
Avoid excessively low tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel. Ti
re pressure which is too low can cause:
R Tire faults as a result of overheating
R Impaired handling characteristics
R Irre gular wear
R Increased fuel consum ption &
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐
sive tire pressu re
Ti re s with excessively high pressure can bur st
because they are damaged more easily by
highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular
we ar, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics. #
Avoid excessively high tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel. Excessively high tire pressure can
result in:
R Increased braking dis tance
R Impaired handling characteristics
R Irre gular wear
R Impaired driving com fort
R Susceptibility todamage &
WARNING Risk of accident caused by
re peated drop in tire pressure
If th e tire pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged. 310

Check the tire pressure regularly, but at
least every14 days. Ve
hicles with a tire pressure monitor: you can
also check the tire pressure using the on-board
computer.
Only check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
Conditions for cold tires:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tires out
of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr aveled less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
A rise in the tire temp erature of 18°F (10°C)
increases the tire pressure byappr ox.10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi). Take this into account when
ch ecking the tire pressure of warm tires.
The tire pressure recommended for increased
load/speed in the tire pressure table may af fect
th eride comfort. &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
unsuitable accesso ries on tire valve
If yo u mount unsuitable accesso ries onto tire
va lves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause a loss of tire
pressure. Af term arke t tire pressure moni tor‐
ing sy stems will cause the tire valve toremain
open, depending on the design. This can also
re sult in a loss of tire pressure. #
