Windshield wipers
Headlamp cleaning system*
(Standard on S 500, S 600, S 55 AMG)
!
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.
For more information on the windshield
wipers, see “Windshield wipers”
The switch is located on the left side of the
dashboard.
(୴ page 48).
i
Intermittent wiping is interrupted when
the vehicle is at a standstill and a front
door is opened.
The switch should not be left in inter-
mittent setting as the wipers will wipe
the windshield once every time the en-
gine is started. Dust that accumulates
on the windshield might scratch the
glass and/or damage the wiper blades
when wiping occurs on a dry wind-
shield.
A rain sensor automatically controls the
windshield wipers depending on how wet
the windshield is.
