are the front and rear windscreen washers automatically disabled during freezing temperatures?
following a dealer's service plan service on 29 Dec, both these washers have ceased to work. I thought at first the wash liquid had frozen, and then it occurred to me this could be a design feature.
It seems the fluid is still liquid, but I don't hear any running sound of washer motor when switched on.
