Is there a front camera washer?

[whitex]

I recently noticed my front camera was dirty, turned front windshield washer spray and there was no spray on the camera like there is in the reverse one. I thought I saw it spray the front camera in the past (like it does the night vision, which I confirmed still works on my car). Or am I imagining things and front camera does not have a washer?

EDIT: the user manual does not say anything about cleaning the front camera (it does mention the rear camera and night vision). Perhaps I was giving Porsche credit for a feature they never had (like I did when I first bought it and assumed, incorrectly, that a Taycan CT being intended for some light off-roading in the winter would have heated windshield washer nozzles, which it does not as mine froze instantly once I drove into freezing temperatures - then again, given the number of cabin heater failures seen on every single model year so far, I'm going to guess winter driving was not a top priority in testing).

I'm forever getting warnings about the front camera/sensor being dirty (meaning collision assist, high beam assist, etc are all disabled/not working). It would be handy to have a washer

I thought this was related to the sensor behind the rear view mirror, not a camera in the front bumper. I too get that warning often as well btw.

ahh ok could be, in which case I need to wash my windscreen more often!

I was quite disappointed about the heated wind screen and washer nozzles. It’s a German car! They know a couple of things about cold!
Even my van has got heated windscreen and washer nozzles…

That's the sensor and camera in the windscreen. Other warnings come from the parking sensors if covered in heavy moisture.

There is no heated front windscreen option for the Taycan. Washer nozzles are heated as standard at the front.

Good to know at least the nozzles are heated!

Can you point us to anything that states they are heated? Mine are not, dealer says Taycans don’t have heated nozzles, would love to claim warranty repair to get them heated.
