That's correct--and long been a source of consternation to American 
drivers. The Germans evidently want unheated air directed to the face 
from the (dash) vents--presumably intended to keep the driver more 
alert in that otherwise "toasty" car.

Kneale, did you really mean temp set to 89 degrees? Or was that a 
typo? Anyway, just 2 years seems way too soon for that feedback pot 
to be acting up again--have a look at your CC channel 08 and 09 
outputs; if they come to the same value you have no worry about the 
potentiometer. The problem (if it exists) must lie somewhere else.
