climate control / thermostat dials

Just got a preowned 2012 countryman.
I have the thermostat with a center dial for the different positions, feet, feet/head, defrost, just head, and then some thing with 3 arrows pointing UP STRAIGHT and DOWN.
I assume what each mean by the icons hahaha, the manual doesnt explain well.

My question is, the icon/dial marker with the standard HEAD and FEET arrows, I don't get much if any air blowing at the head-only feet?
I don't think anything is broken, because if I just put it on HEAD icon, I get nice blasting air-and the round vents themselves ARE open BTW.

Any thoughts?

Anyone ever have an issue with the HEAD/FEET vent setting not blowing any air at the head?

That three setting thing is defrost, face and feet, but honestly there isn't much air volume, I assume because so many vents at the same time, so you have to turn the fan up quite high.

'On mine I notice it takes a long time to switch to and from this mode, as in 20 seconds or so.

Ahhh the three setting makes sense and I can feel air on that setting at all locations, just super super strange I get Face air on the face setting-but NOT on face/feet.
Weird.
