Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
! Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
! If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash. Combination switch

Switch on the ignition.
X Turn the combination switch to the corre-

! Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the windshield
becomes dirty in dry weather conditions, the
windshield wipers may be activated inadver-
tently. This could then damage the windshield
wiper blades or scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windshield wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the 0062or0063
position, the appropriate wiping frequency is
automatically set according to the intensity of
the rain. In the 0063position, the rain sensor is
more sensitive than in the 0062position, caus-
ing the windshield wiper to wipe more fre-
quently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield will no longer be wiped properly. This could prevent
you from observing the traffic conditions. Switching the rear window wiper on/

Checking coolant level G
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized, particularly when the motor is warm. If you open the cap, you could be scalded if hot coolant sprays out.
There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open the
cap. Wear gloves and eye protection. Slowly
open the cap to relieve pressure. !
The coolant may only be checked and cor-
rected when the engine is cool (coolant tem-
perature below 104 ‡ (40 †).Checking the
coolant when the coolant temperature is
above 104 ‡ (40 †) may result in damage to
the engine or to the engine cooling system. X
Park the vehicle on a level surface.
Only check the coolant level when the vehicle
is on a level surface and the drive system has
cooled down.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 2in the ignition
lock (Y page 109).
X Check the coolant temperature display in the
instrument cluster.
The coolant temperature must be below
104 ‡ (40 †).
X Turn the SmartKey to position 0in the ignition
lock (Y page 109).
X Slowly turn cap 0043counter-clockwise to
relieve excess pressure.
X Turn cap 0043further counter-clockwise and
remove it.
If the coolant is at the level of marker bar 0087
in the filler neck when cold, there is enough
coolant in coolant expansion tank 0044.
X If necessary, add coolant that has been tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
X Replace cap 0043and turn it clockwise as far as
it will go.
For further information on coolant, see
(Y page 284).
