HVAC Question for W210 Owners

My sister in law has a W210 E320 2001 Sedan. The center air vents work sometimes and dont sometimes. Now our service advisor says that the vents only work when the AC is on or in manual mode. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, and the heater does not blow from there either sometimes.

Now is he a moron or am I dumb? As far as I was concerned the center vents worked at all times, they dont even work in Auto mode sometimes.

I think your right... perhaps it was 4:20 when the dealer gave you the advice? Because in my car, the Sides always work (unless you manually turn them off) and centers only work sometimes... as you have said.

The center vents only function in the A/C mode. You can test it by lowering the temperature setting to force the air conditioning on.
