!

Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due

to optical influences and the windscreen

becoming dirty in dry weather conditions,

the windscreen wipers may be activated

inadvertently. This could damage the wind-

screen wiper blades or scratch the wind-

screen.

For this reason, you should always switch

off the windscreen wipers in dry weather.

In the Ä or Å position, the appropriate

wiping frequency is set automatically accord-

ing to the intensity of the rain. In the Å

position, the rain sensor is more sensitive

than in the Ä position, causing the wind-

screen wipers to wipe more frequently.

If the wiper blades are worn, the windscreen

will no longer be wiped properly. This could

prevent you from observing the traffic condi-

tions. Replace the wiper blades twice a year,

ideally in spring and autumn.

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

If the windscreen wipers begin to move while

you are changing the wiper blades, you can be

trapped by the wiper arm. There is a risk of

injury.

Always switch off the windscreen wipers and

ignition before changing the wiper blades.

!

Never open the bonnet if a windscreen

wiper arm has been folded away from the

windscreen.

Never fold a windscreen wiper arm without

a wiper blade back onto the windscreen.

Hold the windscreen wiper arm firmly when

you change the wiper blade. If you release

the windscreen wiper arm without a wiper

blade and it falls onto the windscreen, the

windscreen 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 windscreen wiper

blades, make sure that you touch only the

wiper arm of the windscreen wiper.
