Windshield wipers
Switching windshield wipers on and off
Example illustration coupé
X Make sure the key is in starter switch
position 1.
X Switching on: Turn the wiper switch to
position 2or3, depending on the
intensity of the rain.
! 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 wind-
shield wipers with windshield washer
fluid.
! If anything blocks the windshield wip-
ers (leaves, snow, etc.), switch them off
immediately.
For safety reasons, stop the vehicle in a
safe location and
R -
remove the key from the starter
switch
- engage the parking brake
before attempting to remove any
blockage.
R Remove blockage.
R Turn the windshield wipers on again.
X Switching off: Turn the wiper switch to
position g. Intermittent wiping
Only switch on intermittent wiping under
wet weather conditions or in the presence
of precipitation.
Vehicles with rain-light sensor*: When you select intermittent wiping, the sensor is
activated. The sensor automatically sets a
suitable wiping interval depending on thewetness of the sensor surface.
! Vehicles with rain-light sensor*:
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when the vehicle is taken to an automatic car wash or during wind-
shield cleaning. Windshield wipers will operate in the presence of water sprayedon the windshield, and windshield wip-
ers may be damaged as a result.
! Vehicles with rain-light sensor*:
If you have set intermittent wiping, dirt
on the surface of the 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 wind-
shield wipers when weather conditions
are dry.
X Make sure the key is in starter switch
position 1.
X Activating intermittent wiping: Turn the
wiper switch to position 1.
After the initial wipe, pauses between
wipes are automatically controlled
depending on the vehicle speed and by the
rain-light sensor*.
X Deactivating intermittent wiping: Turn
the wiper switch to position g. Windshield wipers

X
Set the value of the charge current to 12 A
and confirm.
X Press the encryption button on the pow-
erline adapter within three minutes.
When the powerline adapter shows a con-
nection, the connection process was suc- cessful.
i Observe the separate operating
instructions of the powerline adapter.
i Contact an authorized electric drive
smart center if you have any questions.
X Next, set the value of the charge current
to the desired value once again.
As soon as the vehicle establishes an Inter- net connection, you can also use the "Vehi-
cle Homepage" at home during the charging process. Changes you have made via the
"Vehicle Homepage" are adopted after the
charging process is complete. This data
transmission ends after approximately
three days. Intelligent charging management
If you wish to charge economically and with
minimal damage to the battery, you must set a departure time (Y page 90). This option to
optimize the charging process depends on
your electricity contract and the local
power supplier. Your vehicle detects this
option automatically. Depending on the
departure time which is set, the charging
process of the high-voltage battery may not be started immediately or may be inter-
rupted during the process. Front compartment
Service flap
Remove the service flap to check the bat-
tery coolant level, windshield washer res- ervoir level, and brake fluid level. Insert the service flap on the front of the
vehicle so that it does not get damaged or
dirty.

The service flap has a strap on the rear
side that ties it to the vehicle body. G
WARNING
Always turn the key to starter switch posi-
tion 0and remove the key from the starter
switch before opening the service flap.
If the windshield wipers should inadver-
tently be switched on, you could be seri-
ously injured by the wiper washer drive,
which is located just below the service
flap. G
WARNING
Make sure the service flap is locked while
driving. Otherwise, the service flap could
become detached and pose a hazard to you or others.

vals.
