A method is provided for disabling a footwell area ventilation of individual seats of a vehicle and a device applying the method is also related. The inventive method for preventing a footwell ventilation for at least one seat of a vehicle comprises the steps of: detecting an air distribution mode set by an operator or an automatic function of a climate control system, determining whether the air distribution mode provides or effects a footwell ventilation (a single seat for several seats), whether or not a footwell ventilation is desired for at least one seat - the footwell ventilation for the at least one seat by means of at least one shut -off means when the set air distribution mode provides or effects a footwell ventilation and if a footwell ventilation for the at least one seat is not desired. The device includes a ventilation system for a motor vehicle having a number of seats and at least one shut-off device for a footwell area ventilation for at least one seat, which can be set such that the footwell
