Weak Feet Vents

The foot air vents are really weak on my car. If I change the vents to "feet only", I can still barely feel like on 7. If the vents are shared between feet and anything else, there's like nothing coming out on the feet.

Anyone else notice this?

"Feet only" setting isn't really

You should also know that the "feet only" setting turns off only the center vents in front. It doesn't turn off the side vents. You can try closing the side vent on the passenger side when you don't have a passenger and partially closing the side vent on the driver side. To take care of fogging, MB intends the A/C to be kept on year-around anyway. Both in my previous 2007 C280 and my present C300, I have found that in cold, damp weather, the A/C is indeed necessary to prevent fogging of the side windows.
