Rear Window Wiper/Washer - Mercedes-Benz 2010 GLK-Class Operator's Manual

Wipers

! Vehicles with rain sensor: If you have set
intermittent wiping, dirt on the surface of
the rain sensor or optical effects may cause
the windshield wipers to wipe in an
undesired fashion. This could then damage
the windshield wiper blades or scratch the
windshield. You should therefore switch off
the windshield wipers when weather
conditions are dry.
Vehicles with rain sensor: Intermittent wiping
interval is dependent on the wetness of the
windshield. After the initial wipe, pauses
between wipes are controlled by the rain
sensor automatically.
