Which Button Activates the Windshield Washer in a Mercedes-Benz?
1 Answers
The windshield washer switch in a Mercedes-Benz is located on the combination light control lever. The leftmost silver button controls the windshield washer: a light press activates the wipers, while a firm press engages both the washer and wipers. Slightly to the right is the wiper speed selector, which can be used in conjunction with the washer fluid to clean the vehicle's windshield. Precautions for using automotive windshield washer fluid: Avoid adding river water to the washer fluid as sediment deposits may clog the pump. Regular tap water also contains impurities that can accumulate in rubber hoses over time, affecting proper spray function. Using water mixed with laundry detergent as washer fluid may cause sediment buildup, corrode rubber hoses, accelerate wiper blade hardening, scratch the windshield surface, clog spray nozzles, and damage the motor. Summer and winter windshield washer fluids can be mixed, but dilution reduces antifreeze performance. Unused winter washer fluid can be used in summer, but pay attention to the expiration date. Method for adding washer fluid: Open the front hood and locate the washer fluid reservoir; unwrap the solid washer fluid tablet and place it in the reservoir; add clean water until the reservoir is full; wait for the solid tablet to completely dissolve before use.
