How to activate the windshield washer on a Mercedes-Benz C200?

[SanMalachi]

The windshield washer switch is located on the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. To activate the washer function, pull the wiper control lever toward the driver. If used frequently, remember to check the washer fluid level and refill promptly when low to prevent dry wiping. Wiper maintenance tips: 1. Cleaning method: Use plain water to clean the wiper blades, wiping away dirt along one direction while rinsing. Avoid using high-pressure water jets or detergents that may cause rubber deterioration. 2. Outdoor parking: When parked under direct sunlight, the windshield temperature can reach 50-60°C (122-140°F). The wiper rubber blades pressed against the hot glass will age faster. Therefore, always lift the wipers when parking outdoors to prevent contact with scorching glass and extend their lifespan. 3. Adding washer additive: Various commercial washer additives provide lubrication and cleaning during wiper operation. These additives won't accelerate rubber aging and can enhance wiping performance. Simply mix the additive with washer fluid in the reservoir according to the recommended ratio.
