Windshield Wiper Smears
If the windshield wiper smears the
windshield, even during rain, activate
the washer system as often as necessary.
The fluid in the washer reservoir should
be mixed in the correct ratio.
Blocked Windshield Wiper
If the windshield wiper becomes
blocked (for example, due to snow),
switch off the wiper motor.
For safety reasons before removing ice
or snow, remove key from steering lock.
Remove blockage.
Activate combination switch again
(key in steering lock position 1).
Emergency Operation of
Windshield Wiper
In case of windshield wiper malfunction
in switch positions I or III, turn
combination switch to wiper setting II.
Have the system checked at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as
soon as possible.
Signaling Turns with Hazard
Flasher in Use
For example, when the vehicle is being
towed (key in steering lock turned to
position 2):
With hazard flasher on, activate
combination switch for left or right
turn signal - only the selected turn
signal will blink.
Upon canceling the turn signal, the
hazard flasher will operate again.
Turn Signal Failure
If one of the turn signals fails, the turn
signal indicator system flashes and
sounds at a faster than normal rate. In
addition, the exterior lamp failure
indicator will come on.
