Important safety notes
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-
ing wheel and mirror and fasten your seat belt before starting the engine.
GWARNING
The exterior mirror on the front-passenger
side reduces the size of the image. Visible
objects are actually closer than they appear.
This means that you could misjudge the dis-
tance from road users traveling behind, e.g.
when changing lane. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
For this reason, always make sure of the
actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.

after washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash.
!Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
shield becomes dirty in dry weather condi- tions, the windshield wipers may be activa-
ted inadvertently. 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.
1$ Windshield wiper off
2ÄIntermittent wipe, low (rain sensor
set to low sensitivity)
3Å Intermittent wipe, high (rain sensor
set to high sensitivity)

5¯Continuous wipe, fast
BíSingle wipe/ îto wipe the wind-
shield using washer fluid
XSwitch on the power supply with the Start/ Stop button or the SmartKey (
Ypage 151).
XTurn the combination switch to the corre-
sponding position.
In the ÄorÅ position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically accord-
ing to the intensity of the rain. In the Å
position, the rain sensor is more sensitive
than in the Äposition, causing the wind-
shield wipers to wipe more frequently.
The washer fluid is fed through the wiper
blades; when the screen is wiped with washer
fluid î, the water is emitted directly from
the blades. If you push and hold the combination switch
beyond the point of resistance in the direction
of arrow
B, the manual wash program is
activated. If you push and hold the combina-
tion switch briefly beyond the point of resist-
ance in the direction of arrow B, the auto-
matic wash program is activated.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield
will no longer be wiped properly. This could
prevent you from observing the traff ic c
ondi-
tions.
Replacing the wiper blades
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If the wind shield wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiperblades, you could
be trapped by the wiper arm. There isa risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.
!To avoid damaging the wiper blades,
make sure that you touch only the wiper
arm of the wiper.
!Never open the hood if a windshield wiper
arm has been folded away from the wind-
shield.
Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release
the windshield wiper arm without a wiper
blade and it falls onto the windshield, the
windshield may be damaged by the force of
the impact.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the wiper blades changed at a qualified
specialist workshop.
!Always position the windshield wiper
arms vertically before folding them away
from the windshield. By doing so, you will
avoid damage to the hood.
