Where is the wiper switch on a Mercedes-Benz car?

Mercedes-Benz car's wiper switch is located on the left side of the steering wheel, combined with the light controls on a single stalk. The wiper, also known as windshield wiper, is a device used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield to improve the driver's visibility and enhance driving safety. Mercedes-Benz is a German automotive brand known for luxury and high-performance vehicles, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, and is a member of Daimler AG. Its product lineup includes various passenger cars, medium and large commercial vehicles, etc. The passenger car series includes A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, etc.; the commercial vehicle series includes trucks and Unimog engineering vehicles; light commercial vehicles include Vito and Vario.
The wiper controls for Mercedes-Benz cars are all located on the stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. This stalk can be operated in all directions—up, down, left, and right. It's the most easily accessible position while driving—simply push or pull the stalk to activate the wipers. Pushing it forward once triggers a single wipe, while pulling it backward activates the washer fluid along with the wiper motion. There's usually a small rotary knob on the side of the stalk to adjust the wiper speed—turning it left slows the wipers, while turning it right speeds them up. It's important to note that most Mercedes models use a column-mounted gear selector, so be careful not to confuse the wiper stalk with the gearshift lever. Additionally, the rear wiper switch is typically a button at the top of the stalk—holding it down activates the washer function. Trying to find the controls on the steering wheel might lead you astray.
