WARNING
If the windshield wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiper blades, you
could be trapped by the wiper arm. There is
a risk of injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.

To avoid damaging the wiper blades, make
sure that you touch only the wiper arm of
the wiper.

Never open the hood if a windshield wiper
arm has been folded away from the wind-
shield.
Never fold a windshield wiper arm without a
wiper blade back onto the windshield.
Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release
the windshield wiper arm without a wiper
blade and it falls onto the windshield, the
windshield may be damaged by the force of
the impact.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the wiper blades changed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
