Activate Your Mercedes-Benz Wiper Service Mode in Three Easy Steps
Keeping your Mercedes-Benz in top condition is key to ensuring a smooth and safe driving experience. To make maintaining or replacing your wiper blades effortless, your Mercedes is equipped with a handy wiper service mode. This feature lifts the wipers into an upright position, giving you easy access to the blades for cleaning, replacement, or inspection. Here’s how to activate it in just three simple steps:
Step 1: Prepare Your Vehicle
Start by turning the ignition to the ON position. If your Mercedes has a keyless start system, press the start button once without pressing the brake pedal—this will activate the accessory mode without starting the engine. Wait a moment, then turn the ignition off again. This step primes the system for wiper service mode activation.
Step 2: Activate Wiper Service Mode
Within 10 seconds of turning off the ignition, push the wiper stalk (located on the right side of the steering column) downward and hold it for about 2-3 seconds. You’ll see the wipers move into an upright position on the windshield, signaling that service mode is active. This position provides clear access to the wiper blades for maintenance or replacement.
Step 3: Return to Normal Operation
Once you’ve completed your maintenance, it’s time to reset the wipers to their standard position. Simply start your vehicle as usual, and briefly activate the wipers by pushing the stalk upward or downward. The wipers will sweep across the windshield and automatically return to their default resting position, ready for regular use.
This thoughtful feature is just one example of how Mercedes-Benz combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design, making vehicle maintenance simpler and more convenient. Whether you’re swapping out old blades or giving them a thorough cleaning, wiper service mode ensures the process is quick and hassle-free.
