froze washer jets

[ika]

on -10c cold washer fluid was not sprayed out on my 2004 X5.
I chacked and noticed that washer tank is not heated as was on my Mercedes.
I think in jets or tubes water was frozen,because in washer tank water wasn not frozen.
Is srasyer jet heated , does some one know?

The front jets are supposed to be heated within about 30 seconds of starting the vehicle. The rear jets are not heated.

and make sure that your washer fluid is rated to lower than -10° C, then it won't freeze.
