Warning! Vehicles with air suspension program: Please be aware that by raising the vehicle level, the center of gravity also rises. Therefore, always ensure that the vehicle level is as low as possible. With higher ride height the ESP may activate earlier in certain situations. Warning! Do not reduce the tire inflation pressure before driving through sand.
Page 170: After Driving Off-Road
Inspect the tires and the vehicle underbody for possible damage. If the vehicle appears unsafe, have the vehicle towed to the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or tire dealer for repairs. Driving over rough terrain places greater demands on your vehicle than driving on normal roads.
