Practical hints
Replacing wiper blades
Warning!
For safety reasons, switch off wipers and
remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch before replacing a wiper blade.
Otherwise, the motor could suddenly turn
on and cause injury.
Warning!
Wiper blades are components that are
subject to wear and tear. Replace 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:
G
The wiper arms should only be folded for-
ward when in the vertical position.
Never open the hood when a 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.
G
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 by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
