Does anyone know if the 2014 C250's have the heated windshield washer feature standard or how I can tell if I do/don't have it? This is my first time ever having the car in 7 degree weather and this morning even with no obstruction or obvious ice the windshield washer fluid would not come out. I could have sworn on my 2006 C280 that it always worked because it was heated, but I can't seem to find anything one way or the other on my new one.

My W203's fluid was definitely heated. I believe the W204 has this as well, but it would depend on what fluid was in the tank whether or not it would work immediately - if I had to guess.

If you have premium package on car. They are heated as well as the mirrors. Do you have heated seats and HK stereo?

I have the Premium P01 package, which on the sticker only mentioned heated seats but nothing about mirrors/fluid.

I should also mention it didn't work after having driven the car for about 30 minutes home, so there was definitely a lot of time for it to heat up... Guess I'll call the dealer on Monday.

Mirrors heat with rear defroster on. Standard on all cars. Nozzles I believe are also heated. Mercedes has had separate option for heated front windshield option.

You don't have to select rear defrost to get the mirrors to heat. The car controls the heated mirrors automatically at all times.

Very true/ actually will go on automatically and stay on for 10 minutes or will also activate when rear defroster is turned on

So I also ran out of fluid on the trip to my family's for Christmas celebration today but the car never warned me it was low. Once I filled it I could only get two of the nozzles to spray out of the three. The passenger side one wouldn't no matter what I tried. I used isopropyl alcohol to make sure the nozzle wasn't frozen and dried it really well.

Check line make sure not clogged and is not linked. Nozzle could be clogged.

Today the temps get into the upper teens and all three nozzles are spraying. Called the dealership and got the typical given the temps they weren't surprised. Just curious if others that live in colder climates have this happen typically. I also noticed that today it seems the fluid is definitely heated since it steams for several seconds after a good spray.

I'm wondering if maybe because the reservoir was probably almost empty before if the heated function didn't work or if maybe there was air in the fluid lines up to the nozzles causing them not to unfreeze?

Could be air in line. Frozen condensation. Clogged nozzle. Try to keep system full.
