The hot air outlets are located under the bench seat, in the wet room and one at the rear (left side) of the garage area, it's on the left near the floor when you open the left rear door. If you open the small door under the bench seat there is a controller for the boiler, choose the 'fan' logo and select 'vent' turn up to 10, the air blower will blow cold air (Circulate) at high speed and you can check they are all working.

Nighttime ventilation without AC option
Hi could anyone with a GC standard gas/electric heating set up advise if the heating system also offers ventilation (cool air fans) whilst parked up. I take it that the normal AC through the front vents won’t run unless the ignition is on? Without the AC option fitted to the rear roof light...

They are used if you have specified one of the optional diesel parking heaters - I can’t remember the option code but it’s the one where you end up with an extra set of controls in the overhead console. Nothing to do with the trauma heater under the back seat - it’s like the oceans parking heater.

Yes, I have the auxiliary heater with the extra control panel but it seems to only blow out at the screen, maybe I need the instructions manual for it. I’ve had a look at the panel and it seem to only switch it on and off and a delay timer.

Yeah it only blows on windscreen on our van too.
That floor vent seems to let cold air into van too

Copy below from a @rod_vw post a few years back regarding GC heater options - looks like code 637UB is the one you have fitted.
CODE: 637UA | PR-Nr. 7VF | Cab interior MY2022 Programmable air parking heater, with radio remote control and additional auxiliary heat.
DESCRIPTION
The fuel-powered independent air heater can be operated and programmed via an auxiliary control unit in the roof module and a remote control. The heating power is 3.5 kW, which can be used as an auxiliary or independent heating function. The max. heating duration is 48 hours. The floor vent provides heated air in the centre between the front seats. The independent air heater is supplemented by a fuel-powered auxiliary heater (5 kW). The auxiliary heater is activated/deactivated using the touch-sensitive display of the radio or navigation system (Media Van Advanced/Media Van Navigation). The range of the radio remote control is several hundred metres for a full battery. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle, poor weather conditions and a depleting battery reduce the range considerably in some cases. The distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle must be at least 2 metres. The optimum range is achieved when the radio remote control is held with the antenna (1) pointing straight up. The check lamp (2) gives the user various information when a button is pressed: - If the check lamp flashes green irregularly for around 4 seconds, the independent heating is blocked. The fuel tank is almost empty, the voltage of the vehicle battery is too low or there is a fault. This can be rectified by refuelling and driving for long enough to charge the vehicle battery. - If the check lamp flashes red or green regularly for around 4 seconds, the signal has not been received. This can be rectified by reducing the distance from the vehicle. - If the battery in the radio remote control is low, the check lamp lights up orange for around 2 seconds and then lights up (switch-on or switch-off signal received) or flashes (switch-on or switch-off signal not received) red or green. The battery should be replaced as the range may be reduced.
Customer benefit.
The fuel-powered independent air heater ensures that the vehicle is heated when stationary with the engine switched off and also provides a ventilation function. The independent air heater can thus also be used to heat the interior more quickly and to maintain the temperatures. Ideal for vehicles that are stationary for long periods (for example construction site vehicles). The remote control makes operation more convenient. The independent air heater can also be used to heat the cargo compartment of a box-type van when the cab is separate. The fuel-powered auxiliary heater (5 kW) is only switched on during engine operation to support the standard heater.

CODE: 637UB | PR-Nr. 7VL | Cab interior MY2022 Water heater with programmable parking heater function and radio remote control.
DESCRIPTION
The additional water heater with 5 kW heating capacity has an auxiliary heating and auxiliary heating function that can be programmed and controlled via a radio remote control. The control panel for auxiliary heaters and heat exchangers is located at the top in the middle of the roof gallery. Range: a few hundred meters if the radio remote control with antenna is held vertically upwards (can be significantly reduced by obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle, bad weather conditions and a weak button cell) Back information from the indicator light: - If the green flashes irregularly for 4 seconds, the auxiliary heater is blocked. The cause for this can either be an empty fuel tank, insufficient voltage in the vehicle battery or an existing fault. This can be remedied by refueling and driving long enough to charge the vehicle battery. - Red or green flashing steadily for 4 seconds, the signal was not received. This can be remedied by reducing the distance to the vehicle. - Orange light for 2 seconds: weak button cell. Then it lights up (switch-on or switch-off signal received) or flashes (switch-on or switch-off signal not received) red or green. In this case the button cell should be replaced as the range can be reduced.
Customer benefit.
The auxiliary water heater supports the on-board heater so that higher temperatures in the interior can be reached more quickly and these can be maintained. Using a programmable independent heater function, the auxiliary water heater heats the vehicle before the start of a trip (for example to defrost the windows) and when it is stationary.
