Just seen this - never noticed it before. It has some sort of electrical block type thing behind the grille with wires attached.

Yup, they all have it but I believe only the vehicles with climate control use it to control the cabin temp.

+1 ...... most cars with Air con have them "slots".... Citroen's do for sure.....

Obviously it's only used for Climate Control/Auto Aircon vehicles that would have a sensor but cheaper to fit the same dash to all models.....

I got one o those... Empty behind. Manual controls!
My partners (Correction fiancee's) Micra has climate control & a similar sort of sensor slot in a similar position. But 9 holes arranged in a square!
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

The vent is air con related. The sensor behind the vent is fitted on climate control models.
