Practical hints
Replacing wiper blades
̈ Let tab 2 latch into both recesses of
attachment 3.
̈ Check if the wiper blade is securely
fastened.
̈ Fold the wiper arm backward to rest on
the windshield.
Make sure you hold on to the wiper arm
when folding it back.
Removing rear wiper blade
̈ Fold wiper arm 1 ( ୴ page 455) for-
ward until it engages.
!
Never open the hood when the wiper
arms are folded forward.
Hold on to the wiper when folding the
wiper arm back. If released, the force
of the impact from the tensioning
spring could crack the windshield.
Do not allow the wiper arms to contact
the windshield glass without a wiper
blade inserted.
Make certain that the wiper blades are
properly installed. Improperly installed
wiper blades may cause windshield
damage.
For your convenience, we recommend
that you have this work carried out by
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center.

remove SmartKey from starter switch (vehi-
cles with KEYLESS-GO*: Make sure the
vehicle’s on-board electronics have

and cause injury.
