Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Driving downhill
• Drive slowly.
• Do not drive at an angle down steep
inclines. Steer into the line of fall and drive
with the front wheels aligned straight.
Otherwise, the vehicle could slip sideways, tip and rollover.
• Before tackling steep downhill gradients,
select shift range 1.
• Activate DSR. If this is not sufficient,
brake
gently. When doing so, make sure that the
vehicle is facing in the direction of the line
of fall.
• Check that the brakes are working normally
after a long downhill stretch.
The special off-road ABS setting enables
a precise, brief and repeated locking of the
front wheels, causing them to dig into the
loose earth. Be aware that the front wheels
easily skid across the ground surface if
completely braked and therefore lose their
ability to steer.
Brow of hill
When driving up an uphill gradient, slightly
reduce pressure on the accelerator
immediately before reaching the brow of the
hill. Use the vehicle's own impetus to drive
over the top of the hill.
