Default A/C S-Flow

I don't know if this was covered previously but has any of you guys used this feature? Because I don't have the rear A/C controls when I press the button all it does is turn off the rear vents. Can anyone who has the luxury package shed some light on their experience with it?

It changes with the Luxury edition. The S-Flow feature, when in use will only flow air to occupied seats. Meaning if no one is in the passenger or rear seats, no air flows

On the premium edition it only turns off the rear.

That's how it's supposed to work. Will turn off pass. vents and pass. temp. control if no one is sitting in pass. seat also.

so only my back seat vents go off while in S-Flow? always thought the pass side goes off also. i'm always in S-Flow and no one notices because the heat and AC in this car are very good.

The S-FLOW system on my Luxury model turns off the front passenger and rear passenger HVAC when those positions are not occupied. It's a cool system. Here is the manual's explanation:

When the S-FLOW switch is pressed,
the airflow changes as follows.
Without rear air conditioning system:
Air flows to the front seats only.
With rear air conditioning system: Air
flows to the front seats only, and if the
passenger seat is unoccupied, the set
temperature, outside humidity and
temperature inside the cabin are
assessed, and air flows to the driver
seat only.
