Default Rear Exterior Vents?

Does anyone know if the exterior vents on the back pillars of the car have a purpose?

Or are they just for show?

they keep the cabin pressure equalized when you close the door or have the HVAC system on. On cars they're located behind the rear bumper usually, as they are also on the 200 series.
