MAGIC VISION CONTROL -- Mercedes-Benz Windshield Wipers
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2013
- 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.

Same here
I only know that it failed
Same here
6yrs and 3 days now

Thought it was something new lmao
So glad for this, my washer fluid annual budget was killing me.
LMAO!!!!! Same here I thought spending 3-5 bucks every 2 months was way to much! 😂
Also think of the excessive water consumption of the conventional killing the environment. Lol.

dont forget the clear vision and heated water

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..
Exactly my thoughts, the $2 I've spent on wiper fluid this past decade is prompting me to spend 50k more than a car is worth just to save on some of that blue water!
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?
@@mistadobalina3495 Nice thinking
I know! I spend a whopping 10 dollars per year on wiper fluid and I wish I could only bring that down to a meager 5 with the addition of $1200 wipers!

Exact same though, I was like no way this is dope, then I looked at the year 2013, how come I'm only ever seeing this now!
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.
great to see this new system, because with the old system, every time I tried to use the screen wash, I couldn't see a damn thing and crashed my car. I had to buy a new car every week.
@MarkMolloy yeah, i agree, however, this clip is 9 years old. Just saying.

and the cost of replace is 150% more. mercedes suck
Uses less. Sounds good until you realize a gallon of wiper fluid is $3 lol.
You don't understand luxury. 50% less water is not for saving money, but helping you not to fill the tank frequently.
To replace the entire wiper arm it's $448 each and the wiper blades are $80 each. Crazy the ones on my MX-5 are 3 years old and cost me $40 I clean them with silicone spray and a rag lol
Seems to works great on a perfectly clean windshield during a beautiful sunny day!

If windshield wiper fluid is blinding you.. what are you gonna do when it actually rains..
Usually the sun is gone by the time rain comes . so no reflection coming in your car blinding you .
Mercedes-Benz owners never drive in rain, of course 🤨
Good point there
Damn. This guy never drove before.
Probably takes the bus.
Then the car is going to stop at the side of the road
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.
That's badass! I'd end up using way more wiper fluid just to watch it work

If a bug hits the windshield at 80mph will I still be able to wash it off? Because so far the traditional way just scrapes it across the windshield making it worst.

This kind of engineering is incredible when the car is new. But a nightmare to maintain, when the car is old.
Not even that old... I knew a lady with a mercedes SUV and at 6 years old it was in the shop more than it was on the road. But her ex-husband paid for the repairs so she kept it. I can honestly say mercedes is one of those brands I've never wanted to own, and now that I've been around a while, that hasn't changed.

One of the other manufacturers did something similar years ago in a car I had. Not sure if was a Citroen xantia or a Vauxhall vectra , it had the water tube from the washer bottle attached to the wiper if I remember. Far improved visibility when cleaning windscreen.
I see a bunch of laser cut holes just waiting to get clogged, and a windshield wiper that costs as much as the windshield to replace.
If you can afford this car, money is not something you would be worried about.

I don't know about you, but I've never been blinded by washer fluid.
J
It’s not being blinded, it’s just the fact that the spray will take away some of the visibility of the windshield while you’re trying to clean it off.
Driving that sorta expensive car, I would want to be able to see all the time lol
J It actually is a good idea especially for convertibles tho. Washer fluid sprays all over your car and even inside of it if you have a convertible
J at sun rise and set you can be blind
J Now you dont lose your license for having dirty wind shield (in my country it can happen).

Ja Som Cheap shit cars don't have Magic Vision Control so they don't need special wiper blades.
Pete Smith Mercedes could have... I don't know... integrated the fancy laser cut jets into the wiper arm instead? It'd work exactly the same. But of course, they had to make special blades so they can get more money from selling parts.

Ah, the first sweep, with dirty windows and dry blades. Glorious!
it sprays in front and behind the wiper at different times. changes the spray direction depending on which direction the wiper is going.
No it doesn't. And that would be moronic with a convertible.
mudemmeonick I thought the same but it has sprayers on both sides. it also knows if the top is down and adjusts so that it doesn't get in the car :)
Actually, yes... yes it DOES have sprayers for *both* directions.
But let's not let facts get in the way of a ranty TH-cam post.
People can only speak for what was actually shown, and what was shown didn't have sprayers running on both sides, it had dry blades running on a dry, dirty windshield on the first sweep, then washer running on the second sweep back. If it had both, they should have shown and demonstrated both, but they didn't do that.

In the newer Mercedes, this System was added to the Wiper-Arms, so you can use normal Wiper replacements like Bosch, but still get this System. Its also nice when you have a pretty Car, because this won't spray it all over the Body but only the windshield, so it wont be dirty
To be clear - the system would still spray without rubber blades installed / the system is built into the arm assembly?

The old Holden Commodore in Australia had this. It just made wipers hard to find replacements and because the water was distributed more the holes block more regularly.
Needless to say they didn't make that mistake in the next model.
Toyota were smart enough to use only 1 hole per wiper, and a metal mesh near the nozzle to spread it. It also came 3 years before, in the 2010 Yaris 3gen, before Mercedes stole the idea.
Credit to Holden though, they had enough common sense to abandon the idea rather than continuing to push an over-complicated consumable product on the market. If only auto makers would wise up and realise that windshield replacements costing $2k due to the sensor calibrations required is also a stupid idea.

Which means that when you drive with the top up, the fluid sprays on it?
The system that Chrysler had in the 90's (nozzles attached to the wiper arms) works 90% as well, without any of the complexity. This is certainly more elegant of a solution, though.
AKJeeper It's not the first time when germans stealing ideas.
Mercedes stole a lot from Chrysler, not just money when they split.
Actually from the 70s. My 74 Dodge Charger has this feature.
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.

This has become pretty standard stuff these days. My Mazda3 has this. However, the jets from the hood mounted sprayers on my E39 were what is needed to get the job done.
Ok that's kinda cool. Wonder if there is an after market on this. Can I retro fit this on my car?
Just some other shit to break and be super overpriced to fix.
This sort of wiper tech has been used by rallycars as standard equipment for years now because conventional washer fluid delivery systems are simply too impotent when mud, snow, and other assorted crud gets flung on your windscreen at high speed often.
Instead of shitting Mercedes for delivering true innovation to the consumer market, you should instead be shitting on others for being cheapasses and compromising safety to save pennies.
Worn wiper blades usually have their rubber contact wipers worn out before everything else, the arm itself can easily last many years. This design can be made to encourage better resource efficiency by making the rubber blades easily swappable and the arm well built to last many years.
If you can't afford repairs then you shouldn't buy the car in the first place
Replacement wiper blades now cost £400 instead of £20

I remember seeing a kit to convert your windshield wipers to a heated water system like this in a JC Whitney catalog many decades ago. IIRC, the water tube wraps around your radiator hose to heat the water.
Putting heated water on a feeling windshield doesn't sound like a recipe for a cracked windshield at all.
