Has anyone had this problem..... when I turn on the heat, cold air blows out of the above vents but hot air blows lower vents by my feet. I initially thought I needed to go into i-drive climate and adjust something but doesn't see to do anything has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do to correct it? Thanks in advance for you assistance

um that sounds strange. if you are getting blowing cold air out of one vent and hot air out of another you may want to get your thermostat checked. i use it on auto ALL THE TIME and seem to not have any issues / are you using auto? ... many posts are available on this forum if you search things such as "thermostat" "cold air" "heat" ... GL.

In i-drive, go to climate control. in the vent settings tab it should have 3 options in this order: driver side, a "climate wheel", passengar side (made up the world climate wheel, open for corrections).

the climate wheel option can be easy to miss and you'll only skip between driver/pass vent settings. when you highlight the climate wheel, you may turn it to blue(cold air), neutral (white), or red (heat). I believe your settings are on blue.

just to let you know I found it in the idrive you were correct, it was like the second menu item, it was labeled automatic setting or something like that. Thanks for the help
