German term or phrase: Austroemer
Dies hat Zweitens auch damit zu tun, dass sich die Ausstroemer im Armaturenbrett (fuenf Stueck) nicht wirklich dicht schliessen lassen. Will man zum Beispiel mit höchster Geblaesestufe nur die mittleren beiden Austroemer durchfluten, um moeglichst viel kalte Luft nach hinten zu bekommen, entweicht den geschlossenen Ausstroemern auf der Fahrer- und Beifahrerseite unangenehm viel Luft.

Explanation:
These answers have already been given, I am merely combining them in a way I think produces a more accurate and complete answer, and adding a valid alternative if you want the translation to simulate trade (insider) language style.
This is also easier than adding "agrees" and "neutrals" plus suggestions, which runs the risk of upsetting people.
Note- my confidence level refers only to UKE.

ventilator, vent


Explanation:
This is clearly a typo. In UK English we'd call it a ventilator, although car manufacturers and retailers are likely to call them "vents".

a German synonym for Ausströmer would be \"Luftauslässe\"
