For safety reasons, switch off wipers and

vehicle’s on-board electronics have
status 0) before replacing a wiper blade.
Otherwise, the wiper motor could suddenly
turn on and cause injury.
Warning!
G
Wiper blades are components that are sub-
ject to wear and tear. Replace the wiper
blades twice a year, preferably in the spring
and fall. Otherwise the windows will not be
properly wiped. As a result, you may not be
able to observe surrounding traffic condi-
tions and could cause an accident.
! Never open the hood when the wiper arms
are folded forward.
For your convenience, we recommend that you
have this work carried out at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
! Do not pull on the wiper blade inserts. They
could tear.
! Hold on to the wiper arm. If released, the
force of the impact from the tensioning spring
could crack the windshield.
