A vent assembly of a vehicle includes a bezel defining a vent opening through which an airflow is directed. A primary vane extends across the vent opening and is movable about a primary vane axis to adjust an airflow direction in a first direction. A plurality of secondary vanes are arrayed across the vent opening and are movable about a secondary vane to adjust the airflow direction in a second direction. A primary adjustment knob is located on an adjustment shaft and is rotatable about an adjustment axis. The primary adjustment knob is configured to effect movement the primary vane about the primary vane axis. A secondary adjustment knob is coaxial with the primary adjustment knob and is independently rotatable about the adjustment axis. The secondary adjustment knob is configured to effect movement of the plurality of secondary vanes about their respective secondary vane axes.
