Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Notes on driving
• If the vehicle is heavily laden, check
the tire
pressures and correct them if necessary.
• When parking your vehicle, make sure that
the tires do not get deformed by the curb
or other obstacles. If it is necessary to drive
over curbs, speed humps or similar
elevations, try to do so slowly and at an
obtuse angle. Otherwise, the tires,
particularly the sidewalls, can get
