The MACH-E promotional material mentions that the MME comes with a front camera washer system. I can't find any evidence of this in the user manual for my MME FE. Has anyone confirmed this exists and if so, how is it activated?

Even if the front camera washer exists, the pity is that the rear camera appears to be nearly useless in the winter here where it is perpetually wet and the camera/lens is positioned where it is guaranteed to bo covered in muck almost immediately - so backing into my garage is a little bit hit-or-miss without a clear rear camera. So the lack of a rear camera washer is a notable shortcoming, whereas the front camera washer seems less essential. Really poor design IMHO.

There was a post on Mustang Mach E Nation yesterday asking what the square next to the camera is.

Yanick posted a video of the washer in action. I can't copy a link to the post. But here's a screenshot:

Thanks. I've just checked and I see the little square/door next to the camera - so confirm it's there. Perhaps it is always activated whenever the front washer is used? Or is it more sophisticated than that? There are no instructions I can find in the manual.

Thanks for the links. Good to know (I don't use FB so can't see the videos but take it as given that it is automatic and not a user-controlled feature). I got on this track from a YouTube video from scandanavia that showed the camera washer wasn't working - so I assumed the person operating it didn't know how to control it. Wrong. It just wasn't working on his car. Probably because it was well below freezing when he tried to use it.

How cute. It's like a mini bidet.
