Default Rear Heat Vents Behind Console not working

Stupid qusetion, when I have the heat on nothing comes out of the rear console vents.
Are they for AC only, or did I not enable somthing.
Appreciate any feedback.

Yes they work for heat and AC. However, it's not like an old Camry. If the heat/ac is in auto it does one thing, if S flow is on or off it's another, if the back doors get opened it does something again,thinking that there is someone there.....blah blah

Silly system but you'll figure it out. Page 495 and up gives you info (Owners Manual)

On the heat/AC/Fan console are several buttons. On the top row of buttons, there is a button to the far right that has a symbol of 2 seats on it. That directs air/ for heat/AC only to the drivers position when it is activated and showing a green light within the button. Depress the button to get rid of the light and air will go to the passenger and also the rear air vents.

Tried it, still nothing out of the rear vents. I thinking it might be defrctive unless there is something else Im missing.

Don't know the answer if it's in "Heat" position with A/C off... I'll bet heat only goes to floor???? I'll check mine with only heat on next time I'm out and about.....

Make sure that the S-Flow isn't on.. It automatically activates if the system does not recognize any actuation from the other doors..

Thanks all for checking.

Dealer fixed the issue, there was a problem with the flap that lets the air flow through.
