I am fast approaching divorce. My wife doesn't like being blasted with air from the central vents whereas I do. There appears to be no way to slow down the flow from one vent other than pointing the vent to the middle of the car whereupon it cuts off completely. Previous cars have had a wheel that adjusts each vent individually. Am I missing something here?

Take a look at this thread

Pointing towards the centre of the car does close the vent, but a very fine movement can slow down the flow rate without shutting off completely. Still aimed towards the centre though.

Take a look in the Clima section on the Infotainment screen and have a fiddle. There are a few options to override the default/auto settings such directing more to feet or screen. Might find an acceptable solution in there.

I just leave mine on and let it do its own thing for 99% of the time; if the cold (or warm) flow from the centre vents are too much I point it upwards and a tad more central. Very occasionally I'll use the voice control and tell it "my feet are cold" and for about a minute or so it blows warmer air through the appropriate vents.

You push the direction of the vent towards the middle of the two vents and that turns that particular vent off..... Air flow can be lessened on that vent by positioning it to be just before it is turned off completely.
