Recently when I set the heat to 72, with the directionals for you feet and vent, hot air blows normal at feet and after a little bit cold air starts to come out of the front vents, but hot air is still blowing at feet. Dealer tells me it is normal,(bs). Its normal for it to be -5 Degrees outside and cold air to be blowing when it is set to heat. Any ideas of what it can be???   Teddy karous (Teddy) New Member Username: Teddy Post Number: 2 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 12:37 pm:    Also does it when just sitting not moving   J E Robison Service Co (Robisonservice) Member Username: Robisonservice Post Number: 72 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 - 08:43 pm:    That's what they do. Read the manual carefully, it explains the air distribution and mixing. The center vents always blow cold air or no air. You cannot select heated air from the center. Most European cars are designed this way. Mercedes and BMW are identical.
