Replacing the wiper blades

G
WARNING
If the windscreen wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiper blades, you can be
trapped by the wiper arm. There is a risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windscreen wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.
! Never open the bonnet if a windscreen
wiper arm has been folded away from the
windscreen.
Never fold a windscreen wiper arm without a
wiper blade back onto the windscreen/rear
window.
Hold the windscreen wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release the
windscreen wiper arm without a wiper blade
and it falls onto the windscreen, the wind-
screen 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.
! Only touch the wiper blade on the wiper
arm. Otherwise, you could damage the wiper
blade.
The windscreen will no longer be wiped properly
if the wiper blades are worn. Replace the wiper
blades twice a year, ideally in spring and
autumn.
