Woo hoo - squirty squirty jet wash on rear camera lens

[GtechRob]

went to wipe off road grime off the rear camera and noticed a stalk next to it. Brain immediately went to - maybe they have a washer for it. Sure enough - hit reverse and then rear wash wipe to be greeted by a rear camera screen getting jet washed. Nice! Didn't know it was a thing.

Mine broke off when we were lightly rear ended so now it just pees when it’s activated ???

You can wash it manually using the button on the reverse camera screen.
Edit: This is wrong. Just read the reply below.

There is no button on the screen for the ST, it works with the rear screen washer

Ah same on my CT... I was just wondering why I didn't have the wash button on the screen as shown in the manual ?

Manual also advises on the stalk for the ST / CT.

FYI, when your windshield washer fluid starts going low, the rear camera wash jets will actually stop squirting well before your windshield jets stops squirting. I'm guessing there's some massive lines going from the front of the car to the rear.

If that happens, it's time to add fluid, I was rather surprised by how massive the tank was. Think it was close to an entire gallon that I had to add. Also after you add the fluid, give the rear jets a fresh presses too so that all the fluid gets back there.

The jets IMO works ok. I still occasionally wipe the lenses with some cleaner fluid and a microfiber each time I walk to the back of my car. More so during winter weather where you're kicking up a bunch of grim in the back of the car that will just cake onto the lens.
