Practical hints
Replacing wiper blades
Warning! G
For safety reasons, switch off wipers and re-
move SmartKey from starter switch (vehi-
cles with KEYLESS-GO* (Canada only):
Make sure the vehicle’s on-board electron-
ics have status 0) before replacing a wiper
blade. Otherwise, the wiper motor could
suddenly turn on and cause injury.
Warning! G
Wiper blades are components that are sub-
ject to wear and tear. Change the wiper
blades twice a year, preferably in the spring
and fall. Otherwise the windows will not be
properly wiped. As a result, you may not be
able to observe surrounding traffic condi-
tions and could cause an accident.
!
To avoid damage to the hood, never open
the hood when the wiper arm is folded forward.
!
Hold on to the wiper when folding the wiper
arm back. If released, the force of the impact
from the tensioning spring could crack the wind-
shield.
Do not allow the wiper arms to contact the wind-
shield glass without a wiper blade inserted.
For your convenience, we recommend that you
have this work carried out at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
