– 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.
