How to Use the Wiper on Mercedes-Benz E300?

Press the button on the top of the stalk to clean the windshield. The intermittent mode will wipe the windshield at a certain frequency. The higher you rotate the knob at the end of the light control stalk, the faster the wiper will operate. When the switch is moved to the "0" position, the wiper is turned off.
As an owner with two years of experience driving a Mercedes-Benz E300, I find the wiper system extremely simple and practical. The key is the stalk on the right side of the steering wheel: a gentle upward push activates the wipers, and another push switches between different speeds; pulling it downward triggers the windshield washer spray. The Mercedes wipers feature automatic sensing—once activated, they intelligently adjust frequency based on rainfall, making rainy days hassle-free. Regular maintenance is also crucial. I recommend checking the wiper blades every six months for wear and avoiding activation on dry glass to prevent scratches. Additionally, keep the washer fluid topped up—water-based fluid works fine in summer. If the wipers skip or make noise, the glass may be dirty; regular cleaning extends their lifespan. Overall, this system is thoughtfully designed for safety and peace of mind in harsh weather.
