Question AC Question "blower set to ZERO, but still blowing?!"

Okay, here's the deal, when I turn off the AC and the blower is on ZERO I can still feel air coming out of the vents, cold air if the dial is on blue and hot if on red. Call me crazy but I thought that when you set the blower to ZERO that nothing was suppose to blow out? Anyone have this problem, if so what is the culpret.

Thanks

Ac blower

Every merc we own does this. I can only assume it is mercedes' way of keeping fresh air flow through the car. you could manually close all of the vents to avoid this. Is it worth going to the hassle? I doubt it
