!
Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield isdry, as this could
damage the wiperblades. Moreover, dust
that has co llected on the windshield can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when
the windshield is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wiper sin dry weather conditions, always
use washer fluid when operating the wind-
shield wiper s.
!Ifthe windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the vehicle has been
washed inan automat iccar wash, wax or
other residues may bethe reason for this.
Clean the windshield using washer fluid
after washing the vehicle inan automat ic
car wash.
!In term ittent wiping with rain sensor: due
to optical influences and the windshield
becoming dirtyin dry weather conditions,
the windshield wipers may beactivated
inadvertently. This could then damage the
win dshield wiper blades or scratch the
win dshield.
For th isreason, you should always switch
off the windshield wipersin dry weather.

quency isautomatical lyset according to the
intensity of the rain. Inthe Å position, the
rain sensor ismore sensitive thaninthe Ä

Important safety notes
GWARNING
If the windshield wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiper blades, you could be trapped by the wiper arm. There is a risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.
!Never open the hood/tailgate if a wiper
arm has been folded away from the wind-
shield/rear window.
Never fold a windshield wiper arm without a
wiper blade back onto the windshield/rear
window.
Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release the wiper arm without a wiper blade and it
falls onto the windshield/rear window, the
windshield/rear window may be damaged
by the force of the impact.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the wiper blades changed at a qualified
specialist workshop.
!To avoid damaging the wiper blades,
make sure that you touch only the wiper
arm of the wiper.
