On the first one, A/C only blows cold air out of the two vents in the center of the dash, no cold air from two side vents, next to door's. Only hot there. Second one blows cold A/C air out of all 4 vents, which is really nice. I always thought that the A/C only came out of the center dash vents on the pre MBUSA (2002) G's and that heat only came out the side vents next to door. Question. If the second one that has all 4 vents blowing cold air is correct, what would be the problem on the first one that does not have cold air out of side vents? I would like the first one to have A/C out of all 4 vents. With Best Wishes, AGuess | ||

At speed on the highway, there is a tiny amount of cold air that comes from the side vents. If you refer to English owners manual, they explain how the slider mechanism controls the operation of the vents. I do not recall offhand how it works. The three sliders on the HVAC Control Head - You move one of them and it controls air flow. | ||

Fresh air works the same way. Heated air is not blowed from center vents. The more you close the certer vents the more you have cold or fresh air from lateral vents. My 300GD AC works the same way.

Not very much, but some; and it could be increased by closing the center vents. Also, as Fernando says, an even smaller amount trickles out through the heat and windshield ducts. | ||

When I purchased my G320, I found that the passenger side hose was disconnected. Once reconnected, it worked better. I was very concerned because the hot air was hitting all of the electronics located on the passenger side. | ||
