Mercedes-Benz GLC : Driving / Notes on off-road driving
WARNING Risk of accident if you do not keep to line of fall on inclines
If you drive at an angle or turn on an incline, the vehicle could slip sideways, tip and rollover.
Always drive on inclines
in the line of
fall (straight up or down) and do not
turn.
WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable materials on hot parts of the exhaust system
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system.
When
driving on unpaved roads or offroad,
regularly check the vehicle underside.
Remove
trapped plants or other flammable
material, in particular.
If there is
damage, consult a qualified
specialist workshop immediately.
When driving off-road, sand, mud and water or water mixed with oil may get into the brakes. This may lead to a reduction in braking effect or total brake failure as a result of increased wear. The braking characteristics will vary depending on the material that has entered the system.
Clean the brakes after driving off-road. If you then notice reduced braking effect or hear scraping noises, have the brake system checked at a qualified specialist workshop. Adapt your driving style to the changed braking characteristics.
NOTE Damage caused by driving over obstacles
The vehicle can be damaged by:
- driving up onto high curbs or unpaved roads.
- quickly driving over obstacles such as curbs, speed bumps or potholes.
- heavy objects hitting the underbody or chassis components.
Do not drive over
obstacles that could
damage the vehicle.
Check the vehicle
regularly for damage
during off-road driving.
Adjust the vehicle speed
to suit the
road surface conditions.
If there is damage,
consult a qualified
specialist workshop immediately.
