!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry. Dust that accumulates on
a windshield might scratch the glass and/or
damage the wiper blades when wiping occurs on
a dry windshield. If it is necessary to operate the
windshield wipers in dry weather conditions,
always operate the windshield wipers with
windshield washer fluid ( page 59).
! If anything blocks the windshield wipers
(leaves, snow, etc.), switch them off
immediately.
For safety reasons, stop the vehicle in a safe
location, turn off the engine and remove the
SmartKey from the starter switch before
attempting to remove any blockage.
Remove blockage.
Turn the windshield wipers on again.
If the windshield wipers fail to function at all with
the combination switch in position I,
set the combination switch to the next
higher wiper speed
have the windshield wipers checked at the
nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center.
