How to activate the windshield washer on a Mercedes-Benz C260?

Open the driver's side door and press the brake pedal. Press the one-touch start button to start the engine. The dashboard will light up, indicating that the engine is running. Press the windshield washer switch on the dashboard.
After driving the Mercedes C260 for so long, I've found the windshield washer operation super simple. There's a control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel - just gently pull it toward yourself (rearward) to activate the washer jets. The wipers will automatically engage to clean the windshield. This intuitive design offers single spray with a quick pull or continuous spray when held longer. I frequently use this feature during hot weather or when the windshield gets dirty to maintain clear visibility. Pro tip: Regularly check for clogged nozzles and refill washer fluid to ensure smooth operation. When I first got the car, it took me some time to figure this out, though the manual clearly explains the steps. It becomes second nature with practice. Remember to operate the stalk gently while driving for safety.
