What is it?
Hi,
This has probably been answered before somewhere, but I couldn't find it. So apologies if this is a repeat enquiry.
Whilst cleaning the interior of my new pride and joy I have found what appears to be a vent in the panel underneath the steering column. It even has veins that adjust like a vent to open/close. However, so far I have been unable to find a HVAC setting that provides any ventilation through this 'vent', can find nothing in the manual - and it seems an odd place for a vent anyway. Can anyone, please, enlighten me?
Thanks, Richard

Could be a "job" for the weekend
