Warning! G
For safety reasons, switch off wipers and
remove SmartKey from starter switch be-
fore 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. Change 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 by 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.
