Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Switching the windshield wipers on/off
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 wiped
properly. As a result, you may not be able to
observe surrounding traffic conditions and
could cause an accident.
Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windshield can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when
the windshield is dry.
If the windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the vehicle has been washed in an automatic car wash, wax
or
other residues may be the reason for this.
Clean the windshield using washer fluid after washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash.

Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due
to optical influences and the windshield
becoming dirty in dry weather conditions,
the windshield wipers may be activated
inadvertently. This could then damage the
windshield wiper blades or scratch the
windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch off the windshield wipers in dry weather.
In the or
position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically
according to the intensity of the rain. In
the
position, the rain sensor is
more
sensitive than in the
position,
causing the windshield wipers to wipe more
frequently.
