2 ° Intermittent wipe
3 $ Rear window wiper off
4 b To wipe with washer fluid
X Turn the key to position 1 or 2 in the igni-
tion lock.
X Move the è switch to the corresponding
position.
If the rear window wiper is activated, the
è symbol is shown in the status area of
the display.
The Status Overview in the Assist.
menu then also shows the è symbol for
vehicles with steering wheel buttons
(Y page
189).
X To wipe with washer fluid: press the è
switch beyond the current position as far as
it will go to 1 or press and hold 4.
When you release the è switch, the rear
window wiper continues to wipe for about
another five seconds. The rear window
wiper then wipes according to the original
position 2 or 3.
The rear window wiper switches on automati-
cally if you engage reverse gear and the wind-
shield wipers are on.
If the vehicle is stationary and you open the
tailgate or rear-end door, the rear window
wiper will stop automatically. The rear window
wiper will only resume wiping again when the
tailgate and rear-end door are closed and you
pull away again.
The rear window will no longer be wiped prop-
erly if the wiper blade is worn. This may pre-
vent you from observing the traffic conditions.
Information on replacing the wiper blade can be found under "Replacing wiper blades"
(
Y page

110). Replacing the wiper blades
Important safety notes G
WARNING
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 or rear
doors if a windshield wiper arm has been
folded away from the windshield/rear win-
dow.
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 windshield 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 spe-
cialist workshop.
! Only hold the wiper blade by the wiper
arm. You could otherwise damage the wiper
rubber.
Wiper blades are wear parts. The windshield
will no longer be wiped properly if the wiper
blades are worn. This may prevent you from
observing the traffic conditions.
Please observe the service indicator after
changing the wiper blades of the windshield
wiper.
Service indicator Replacement wiper blades for the windshield
wiper have a service indicator on the tip of the
wiper blade.
Depending on the amount of use, the service
indicator will change color from black to yel-
low.110
Windshield wipers
Lights and windshield wipers

In daylight, the displays in the instrument clus-
ter are illuminated. A dimming function is not
possible in daylight.
On vehicles with steering wheel buttons, the
light sensor in the instrument cluster automat-
ically controls the brightness of the display
lighting.
While the lights are on, the brightness is
dependent upon the brightness of the ambient
light. You can also adjust the brightness of the
instrument lighting and the display lighting:
R by pressing the f and g buttons on the
instrument cluster on vehicles without
steering wheel buttons (not in the Settings
menu)
R by turning brightness control knob : on
vehicles with steering wheel buttons Speedometer
If you change the wheel size on your vehicle,
make sure it is assigned to the correct wheel
size category ( Y page
278). If you change
wheel size category without recoding the con-
trol unit, the speedometer indication will be
inaccurate. The current vehicle speed may
then be higher than the speed displayed in the
speedometer.
The speed can also be shown in the display in
the form of a digital speedometer:
R on vehicles without steering wheel buttons
(Y page 178)
R on vehicles with steering wheel buttons
(Y page 185)
i In some countries, a warning sounds
and/or the display shows a message when
the vehicle reaches the maximum legally
permissible speed limit, e.g. at 75 mph
(120 km/h). Tachometer
! Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine. H
Environmental note
Avoid driving at high engine speeds. This
unnecessarily increases the fuel consump-
tion of your vehicle and harms the environ-
ment as a result of increased emissions. The red band in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
To protect the engine, the fuel supply is inter-
rupted when the red band is reached.
Outside temperature display
You should pay special attention to road con-
ditions when temperatures are around freezing
point.
Please bear in mind that the outside tempera-
ture display shows the air temperature meas-
ured and not the road temperature.
The display shows the outside temperature in
the header:
R on vehicles without steering wheel buttons
(Y page

176)
R on vehicles with steering wheel buttons
(Y page 183)
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay. Coolant temperature gauge
G
WARNING
Opening the hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is a fire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other service products. There is a risk of
injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is a fire in the
engine compartment, keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.
On vehicles without steering wheel buttons,
you can have the coolant temperature shown
in the display

(Y page 178).
On vehicles with steering wheel buttons, an
analog coolant temperature gauge is located
in the tachometer in the instrument cluster
(Y page 40). Under normal driving conditions and at the
correct coolant level, the display may rise to
the letter H or to the red mark. Display and operation
