How to Set the C260L Wiper to Automatic Mode?

Pull the wiper control lever inward to activate the front windshield cleaning function. The rear wiper control button is located on the right side. Rotate it to the corresponding position to turn on the wiper. Push the wiper lever toward the front of the car to spray water for cleaning. HI is the high-speed setting, and LO is the low-speed setting. These are suitable for different rainy conditions and can be adjusted based on the actual driving environment. Use the knob in the middle of the lever to adjust the sensitivity of the automatic wiper. This knob only functions when it is in the AUTO position. "OFF" on the lever refers to turning off the wiper. When moved to this position, the wiper stops working.
I had the same issue with my Mercedes-Benz C260L, and it took me a while to figure out that the automatic wipers are actually quite smart. The wiper stalk is on the right side of the steering wheel—just gently push it down one notch to the INT position, which is the auto-sensing mode. The system automatically adjusts the wiping speed based on the intensity of the rain, making it super convenient and eliminating the hassle during rainy drives. Remember to keep the sensor area on the windshield clean—I use a soft cloth to wipe it regularly, otherwise, the rain sensing might not be accurate. When setting it up for the first time, find a safe spot on a rainy day to test it. If there’s no response, check the fuse or whether the wiper function is working properly. Don’t underestimate this little feature—it makes rainy-day driving much safer and more comfortable.
