Replacing wiper blades Safety notes G Warning! For safety reasons, switch off wipers and remove SmartKey from starter switch (vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: Make sure the vehicle's on-board electronics have status 0) before replacing a wiper blade. Otherwise, the wiper motor could suddenly turn on and cause injury. G Warning! Wiper blades are components that are subject 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 conditions and could cause an accident. ! To avoid damage to the hood the front wiper arms should only be folded forward when in the vertical position. ! Never open the hood when a front wiper arm is folded forward. Hold on to the wiper when folding a wiper arm back. If released, the force of the impact from the tensioning spring could crack the windshield or the rear window (wagon only). Do not allow a wiper arm to contact the windshield glass or the rear window (wagon only) without a wiper blade inserted. For your convenience, we recommend that you have this work carried out at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
