To operate the front windshield wipers and washer of the Mercedes A-Class, use the control knob on the lever to the left of the steering wheel: when the knob is set to 0, the rain sensor is off. To activate the rain sensor, turn the knob to the position with three dots; to use the manual function, turn the knob according to the desired wiping intensity.

On the left side of the lever, there is a button that, when pressed briefly, gives a single wipe to the wipers, while if held down, it activates the washer on the front windshield and automatically operates the wipers.
