Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the windscreen wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiper blades, you can be
trapped by the wiper arm. There is a risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windscreen wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.
!
To avoid damaging the windscreen wiper
blades, make sure that you touch only the
wiper arm of the windscreen wiper.
!
Never open the bonnet/tailgate if a wiper
arm is folded away from the windscreen/rear
window.
Never fold a windscreen wiper arm without a
wiper blade back onto the windscreen/rear
window.
Hold the windscreen wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release the
wiper arm without a wiper blade and it falls
onto the windscreen/rear window, the wind-
screen/rear window may be damaged by the
force of the impact.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the wiper blades changed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
