G-Class Owner's Manual - Mercedes G-Class, G-Wagon, G500, G55 ...

Drive with particular care on icy roads.
Avoid sudden acceleration, steering manoeuvres
and braking.
If it seems likely that the vehicle is about to
enter a skid or cannot be stopped at a low
speed:
Select neutral.
Move the selector lever to N.
Try to keep the vehicle under control
using corrective steering.
You will find information on driving with
snow chains later in this section
( page 278).
Off-road driving
Risk of accident G
Drive slowly in rough terrain with which you
are unfamiliar. This will make it easier to recognise
unexpected obstacles and avoid
damage to the vehicle.
Do not perform U-turns on mountain roads.
The vehicle could tip. If a slope is too steep
for the vehicle, drive back in reverse gear.
Do not drive at an angle up steep inclines.
The vehicle could tip. If you drive up a steep
incline at an angle and the vehicle threatens
to tip, steer at once into the line of fall.

Driving tips
Never allow the vehicle to roll backwards
when in neutral or with the clutch disengaged.
If you only use the brakes, you could
lose control of the vehicle.
Grains of sand, particles of dirt and other
abrasive materials can enter the brake system.
This can lead to excessive wear and unpredictable
braking effect.
Have the brakes checked and cleaned after
they have been exposed to dirt. There is otherwise
the danger that there will not be
sufficient braking effect available in an
emergency. You could therefore endanger
yourself and others.
Take the vehicle's centre of gravity into account,
especially if the vehicle has roof attachments
or is carrying a load.
