Main caveats (Mercedes-Benz S-Class W140)

The Mercedes car will provide the owner with optimal characteristics and will demonstrate high performance on roads with good and smooth surfaces. This is facilitated by a relatively small ground clearance and low-profile tires.

Be careful when driving on uneven and unpaved roads. Driving on them can cause damage to the suspension and/or underbody of the car. Be careful when driving over special speed limiters (sleeping policemen), which are located directly on the road surface - overcoming them at high speed is also fraught with serious damage to the suspension and/or underbody.

To avoid damage to the front or rear bumper, use caution when driving off curbs and trailer ramps. Remember that the low suspension makes it dangerous for this vehicle to drive onto even normal-height curbs.
