Headlight Washers

How do I activate the headlight washers? The owners manual says something about using the windshield washers 10 times before the headlamps get washed. Every Benz I've had before has a separate button for the headlight washers, this can't be right. Thanks!

The manual is correct. There is no separate button (the separate button has been phased out on all models).

So every 10th time the headlight washers come on with the windshield wipers?

it's only every 10th time whilst the lights are on I thought? It's the same way on the GL, but I've never used the headlamp washers on my E, would make a mess of the rest of the car.

I can't imagine why MB spent the money to put them on the car when they would almost never get used. They took off the electric folding mirrors which I would use everyday and put on a headlamp washing system which would never get used and that I can't control. I can't even spray someone standing in front of the car anymore. Thanks!
