Digital Vent Control is available for the driver and front passenger for the automatic air vents, e.g. "Head", "Body" or "Evenly distributed". Your Mercedes-Benz redirects the airflow accordingly. You can also save individual climate settings in the user profiles. You can still adjust the air vents manually. The stepper motor automatically switches to free-wheel when you make an adjustment by hand.
