Default S-flow on 2013 Lexus GS with Luxury

I called the dealership to ask and was told they didn't know much about this feature. Not really happy with that answer.

I understand that when s-flow is on and the front passenger seat is occupied, it will detect that person and turn on their air. Turns it off when that seat is unoccupied. Does the same go for the passengers in the back of a luxury package GS? I had people back there and they said me turning on s-flow turned off their AC. I normally have s-flow on so the back seat passengers disengaged it when they turned on their AC. Then I turned it off by engaging s-flow again.

Appreciate the help!

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.

What does the S-Flow button look like? Does my FSport have it?

I believe all 4GS GS 350's & hybrids should have it.

U guys are right, mine does have it too. I thought that button is only to disable the rear air flow, not redirect air like mentioned here. Learned something new everyday!

The air conditioning system doesn't have occupancy sensors for the back seats, so turning ON S-Flow turns OFF the vents in the back.

In f-sport cars it just turns the rear off. I redirects, senses, and all that jazz on the Luxury models. They get all the cool gizmos smh.

So no front seats sensors on the FSport to direct airflow? Because race car?
