Important safety guidelines
!
To avoid damaging the wiper blades,
make sure that you touch only the wiper
arm of the wiper.
! Never fold a wiper arm back onto the rear
window without the wiper blade installed.
Hold the wiper arm firmly when you change
the wiper blade. If you release the wiper
arm without a wiper blade and it falls onto
the window, the window can be damaged
by the force of the impact.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the wiper blades replaced by a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
