The example stated in this chapter must be understood as general guidelines that are intended to help the driver to drive safely when
driving offroad. However, it is not possible to predict whether these guidelines will be valid for all situations that could occur. Before
driving in unknown terrain, it is crucial to obtain knowledge about the characteristics of the terrain ahead. This will enable you to
assess potential danger in advance. The driver is responsible for deciding whether the vehicle is suitable for the terrain in question and
whether it is possible to drive across the terrain.
Driving offroad demands different skills and driving styles in comparison to driving on roads.
The vehicle is not built for “expedition-type” travel.
The driver can use 4MOTION Active Control to activate a variety of vehicle settings in an all-wheel drive vehicle as required (→ Driving
profile selection).
Switch off the driver assist and parking systems when driving offroad.
Checklist
Before every journey, the following steps should be taken in order to be able to drive and control the vehicle away from surfaced roads:
Observe the general safety notes for driving off-road (→ Offroad driving).
Fold in or remove the ball coupling.
Adjust the seat position so that you have a good view to the front. Fasten seat belts (→ Sitting position).
Always wear suitable, well-fitting shoes that provide good grip for your feet when using the pedals.
A responsible driver should respect the environment when driving offroad. Remember that driving through undergrowth and
on meadows can destroy animal and plant habitats.
Leaking service fluids due to vehicle damage can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected and
disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
Take suitable accessories and equipment with you when driving offroad.
