Not sure if this means anything but both my car and the vehicle I took a screenshot of are both Canadian vehicles as I can recognize the Ontario plates on the blue one. Could it be that the vent is closed in Canadian vehicles but open in American models? If this is the case, I would really love to get to the bottom of this and find out specifically why? Americans on the board, check your vehicles and chime in, Canadians please do the same. Must be a good reason.

This despite the fact that both countries get identical engines. Would be nice to have a couple of Canadians check their cars and confirm my suspicions. Next step is to find out why.
