Mercedes-Benz GLC : Vehicle data / Off-road driving

Fording depth

NOTE Damage caused by water when fording

Water can enter the engine compartment and vehicle interior in the following cases:

• The maximum permissible fording depth when driving through standing water is exceeded
• A bow wave forms during fording
• Water accumulates during fording of flowing water

Do not exceed the maximum permissible fording depth and drive slowly through the water.

The specified value indicates the maximum permissible fording depth for vehicles that are ready to drive and for slow driving through standing water.

Driving through flowing water reduces the permissible fording depth due to the accumulation of water.

Observe the notes on off-road driving and fording.

Angle of approach/departure

The specified values are maximum values for vehicles that are ready to drive.

On vehicles with AIR BODY CONTROL, loads up to the maximum permissible load have no influence on the approach/departure angle.

Observe the notes on driving in mountainous terrain.

Maximum gradient climbing ability

The vehicle's gradient climbing ability depends on the weight distribution in the vehicle, the terrain conditions and the road surface conditions.

The specified value applies in the following cases:

• The vehicle is ready to drive
• The road surface conditions and thus traction are good

A gradient climbing ability of 100% corresponds to an incline of 45°.

Observe the notes on driving in mountainous terrain.
