Ok, there may not be a lot of members here on this forum who this applies to but to those of us who drive our GXs in colder climes, I've found this to be an issue worth mentioning:

During a recent short road trip and adult passenger complained that his feet were freezing while sitting in the row behind the passenger/driver seats. I mentioned the controls in the console but they had little or no effect. After adjustments to the passenger temp and a little bit of searching the controls (I was driving) I couldn't find much in the way of blasting his feet with heat much like I used to be able to do with my past Toyota Previas.

Is this a short-fall of these vehicles? Has anyone had any similar experiences? Please share.

 

Those back seat control are for the rear AC only, vents are above your head. I have never sat on the back seat of my truck but I assume there are ducts under front seats that heat should come out of..I would have to go look.

if you are talking about the 2nd row, that's not a full hvac unit, i don't think it does heat

 

Yep have to put main heater controls to the FLOOR position and then the heat will come out of the ducts under the seat to heat up the feets. Back controls are AC

 

Done that and it sure doesn't seem to blow out much heat. I'm wondering if the vents are blocked somehow.
