quick question about e55 a/c controls

in the picture below is the large center vent (number 4 in the picture) is that suppose to blow hot/cold air too? in new models i dont even see that vent anymore and i tried all the settings and i dont seem to get any air coming out from that vent....when i turn on max heat there is air coming from the vents located above that large center vent just underneath the windshield to defog windshield but in that particular labelled number 4 vent no air comes out, is this normal?

You have turn the #7 knob (wheel) up and air will come out of it, I think its only for cool air though.

Even after reading the manual and owning the car, I still don't understand what the #7 wheel does
