Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Driving over obstacles
Obstacles could damage the floor of the
vehicle or components of the chassis. Ask
passengers for guidance when driving over
large obstacles. The passenger should
always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle when doing so in order to avoid
injury as a result of unexpected vehicle
movements. After driving off-road or over
obstacles, check the vehicle for possible
damage, especially to the underbody and
the components of the chassis.
Observe the following rules when driving over tree stumps, large stones and other obstacles:
• select the off-road drive program or the LOW RANGE off-road
gear.
• avoid high engine speeds.
• select shift range 1.
• drive very slowly.
• try to drive straight over the center of
obstacles: front wheel first, then rear
wheel.
