Windshield Wiper Smears
If the windshield wiper smears the
windshield, even during rain, activate
the washer system as often as
necessary. The fluid in the washer
reservoir should be mixed in the
correct ratio.
Blocked Windshield Wiper
If the windshield wiper becomes
blocked (for example, due to snow),
switch off the wiper motor.
For safety reasons before removing ice
or snow, remove key from steering
lock. Remove blockage.
Activate combination switch again
(key in steering lock position 1).
Emergency Operation of
Windshield Wiper
In case of windshield wiper
malfunction, turn combination switch
to wiper setting II.
Have the system checked at your
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer
as soon as possible.
Signaling Turns with Hazard
Warning Flasher in Use
For example, when the vehicle is being
towed (key in steering lock turned to
position 2): With hazard warning
flasher on, activate combination switch
for left or right turn signal - only the
selected turn signal will blink.
Upon canceling the turn signal, the
hazard warning flasher will operate
again.
Turn Signal Failure
If one of the turn signals fails, the turn
signal indicator system flashes and
sounds at a faster than normal rate. In
addition, the exterior lamp failure
indicator will come on.
