Default Rear wents not blowing?

I just noticed no matter what I do with the dials, the rear wents don't blow hot or cold. What am I missing? Thanks

From what I know, u can't put it on auto, u have to manually adjust the blowing speed and the temp yourself in order to have the rear vents to blow air. Hope it works.

I found for the rear vents, they only seem to work if you have air blowing out the front dash vents. If they are blowing out of those particular vents, then air is also flowing out of the rear vents. If you have it in auto then usually nothing is coming out of the rears. If you manually set the fronts to blow out of the dash (middle) vents, then you shoul feel air coming out of the back ones.

Is there anything in the owners manual about getting the rear vents to operate properly?

Right, after playing with them, that's the only way I got them to work too.

To try and make this easy, first you have to pick the vents you want it to use. Hit the button that looks like a person sitting with arrows pointing at them. Then turn the temp control **** until you see all arrows lit up. Next hit the fan button, and then turn the number up to 12. You should now feel air coming out of your back vents. Let me know if this helps
