This is actually manual AC, not climate control in the "strict" sense, since it isn't automatic.

Seems to work like the 220D -- the two slide levers are for defrost/floor -- all the way right is floor, all the way left is defrost, can be set to any intermediate position. Both levers work the same in spite of the fact that one has an arrow pointing up and the other one an arrow pointing down.

My 220D blows icy cold air in the winter from the center vent, I have to close it to get heat.

Too bad all the other Benzs have automatic climate control -- I don't mind adjusting the heat or cold -- and they don't crap out and do crazy things, either -- the 300D runs cold, the 300TE runs warm!
