Mercedes-Benz GLC : Notes on off-road driving / Checklist after driving off-road
Driving off-road places greater demands on your
vehicle than driving on normal roads. Check the
entire vehicle for damage and foreign bodies
every time after driving off-road. Foreign bodies
in the wheels or drivetrain can lead to imbalances
and therefore vibrations.
- If the
or
drive program is selected:
select another drive program.
- Deactivate DSR.
- Lower the vehicle level again to a level suitable
to the road conditions, e.g. to the normal
level.
- Apply the brakes to dry them after fording.
- Check that the service brake is working normally
after a long downhill stretch.
- Clean the following components every time
after driving off-road:
- License plate number
- Headlamps and tail lamps
- Tires, wheels and wheel arches
- Underbody
- After driving through sand, mud, water or
gravel, have the following components
checked and cleaned:
- Brake discs and brakepads
- Tires and wheels
- Axle joints

driving in mountainous terrain:
