MAGIC VISION CONTROL -- Mercedes-Benz Windshield Wipers

  • MAGIC VISION CONTROL cleans the windscreen without the splash of water that usually briefly disrupts the driver's field of view in the case of conventional windscreen washing systems -- something that is especially unpleasant at night or when the sun is low in the sky and at high speeds. It's also the first windscreen wipe/wash system anywhere in the world to operate intelligently via three partly autonomous was programs -- for summer, for winter and for cabriolet driving. The system works in accordance with the outside temperature and automatically adapts the washer fluid quantity to the surrounding conditions -- Now see the truly amazing technology at work.

    Holy crap I needed this, I can't even count the times I've almost careened over a hill because of that . 2 of a second before the blades kicked in. And I'm not even going to say how much my wiper fluid budget is, I mean I go through at least a gallon of that stuff every couple of years. I'm buying this car. Thanks Mercedes..

      Everyone is ignoring the driving experience. For the good side, if $ isnt an issue (which shouldnt be for MB drivers): (1) Id feel safer with this, that's a plus; (ii) + it cleans faster/better and thats a huge plus; (iii) NOW for the WATER CONSUMPTION part -> doesnt it suck when you need to clean the windshield and water is low?

    After living in many different parts of the country, dealing with heavy rain, sleet, snow, dust and heavy bug splatter. I can really appreciate this new innovation. Daily I struggle with the dust and dried on bug splatter here in the desert. I can't tell you how many times I had to guess where I was in a lane because of heavy rain or wait for an opportune time to use the fluid just for headlight reflection in rain. This is truly an underrated innovation and I am 1000% behind it. Absolute genius to improve an "age old" process. Wish I was there for that "a-ha!" moment. love it.

    My 1991-95 Buick Roadmasters had a similar thing. This is more sophisticated, but it when you think about it, it's not that complex. They just ran a flexible hose up the inside of the wipe blade and the spray nozzle was then placed facing downward in front of the blade's swing. It worked well enough, and it was better for some things (and didn't require special wipers as the blade is the part you replace and it wasn't attached to the blade), but overall it made me use way more fluid. With normal hood mounted sprayers, you can just spray like half a second of fluid on the windshield and it is evenly covered and will get evenly cleaned.
    To get even coverage with these you had to kind of spray for at least one full wipe cycle... and probably more.

  • @chriss6356

      I've seen the "wet arm wiper system" as it is called being retrofitted on a Smart car. But of course, Mercedes had to do something on their own.
      Beginning with this generation of cars, you'll be paying labour costs for fitting new wipers, and the wipers of course will cost multiple times as much, since those laser cut spray nozzles are on the wiper blades.
      But of course, you can retrofit almost any car with this silly system, as long as you are able to re-route the sprayer fluid hose into the wiper arm. All you need is a power drill and one rubber grommet on each wiper. This would be a great Saturday afternoon project.

    What the people who think it’s all about saving water misses the point is that, this system does not cause an overspray situation, allowing your top off in a convertible while running it without getting wet.

    The 2013 on onwards Toyota Yaris/Vitz. It has a single wiper with the sprayer fitted on it which sprays a jet of water parallel to the wiper at all times. Since it is fitted on the wiper it moves with it too. Does the same job its just not "laser cut" and the sprayer is a conventional one. Cheap to replace, smart, simple and efficient

      Osama Bin Laden I work on Mercedes everyday, 80% of Mercedes drivers are wasting their money on payments and can’t afford to change their brakes most of the time 😂 This car is definitely for people who can afford the car as well as the repairs. They’re also junk nothing special for the price tag in my opinion.

    Working aorund liquid pump and pressure. Its a good even briliant idea. Just make sure you have analytical grade washer liquid for this system and filter it with 0.45micron filter membrane. Blockage is a common thing and might damage the pump.
