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