Checklist before driving off-road
– Engine oil level: check the engine oil and
add oil if necessary.
When driving on steep gradients, the oil
level must be sufficiently high to ensure a
correct oil supply in the vehicle.
– DEF tank (BlueTEC vehicles): check the
fluid level and, if necessary, refill to the
maximum (13 l).
– Wheel-changing tool kit: check that the
jack is working and make sure you have the
lug wrench, a robust tow cable and a folding
spade in the vehicle.
– Wheels and tires: check the tire tread
depth and tire pressure.
– Check for damage and remove any foreign
objects, e.g. small stones, from the
wheels/tires.
– Replace any missing valve caps.
– Replace dented or damaged wheels.
– Rims: dented or bent rims can result in a
loss of tire pressure and damage the tire
bead. Therefore, check your rims before
driving off-road and replace them as
required.
If the engine oil warning lamp lights up
while the vehicle is in motion, stop the
vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible.
Check the engine oil level. The engine oil
warning lamp warning must not be ignored.
Continuing the journey while the symbol is
displayed could lead to engine damage.
