The wiper switch on the Mercedes-Benz E300 is located on the left rear side of the steering wheel. The vehicle dimensions are: length 5078mm, width 1860mm, height 1484mm, wheelbase 3079mm, front track 1565mm, rear track 1547mm, fuel tank capacity 66 liters, and trunk capacity 540 liters. The Mercedes-Benz E300 features multi-link independent suspension both in the front and rear, and is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 258 PS, maximum power of 190 kW, and maximum torque of 370 Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz E300 for several years, and the wiper switch is located on the stalk to the right of the steering wheel. Pulling the stalk once will activate a single wipe of the front windshield, while pushing it up will spray washer fluid and wipe a few times. There's a small rotary knob on the side of the stalk—turning it adjusts the wiper speed, such as slowing it down during light rain to prevent wear. The rear wiper control is usually on the left stalk; a gentle twist will activate it. Every time I drive in the rain, this design feels very user-friendly, allowing me to operate it without looking down, which prioritizes safety. I recommend new owners test the wiper functions as soon as they get the car to avoid fumbling during rainy days. If the wipers stop working, it might be due to a stuck switch or a blown fuse—perform a quick self-check, and if that doesn’t help, visit the dealership for maintenance as soon as possible. Regularly cleaning the wiper blades is also crucial to prevent blurred vision and potential accidents. Although Mercedes' overall layout is refined, it’s quite intuitive to use.
