!
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when vehicle is taken to
an automatic car wash or during wind-
shield cleaning. Wipers will operate in
the presence of water sprayed on the
windshield, and wipers may be dam-
aged as a result.
The switch should not be left in inter-
mittent setting as the wipers will wipe
the windshield once every time the en-
gine started. Dust that accumulates on
the windshield might scratch the glass
when wiping occurs on a dry wind-
shield.
!
If leaves, snow, etc. block the wind-
shield wipers, switch off the wipers.
ț For safety reasons, withdraw key
from starter switch. Remove block-
age.
ț Turn the windshield wipers on
again.
If windshield wipers fail to function at
all in switch position I,
ț Set the combination switch to the
next highest wiper speed.
ț Have the windshield wipers
checked at the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
