AC Button What does it do!
I can find no where in the manuals or documentation that tells me what this switch turns On and OFF on the AC control panel.
In my opinion Lexus has very poor documentation for use of the AC system.
What does this switch do and where is it documented.

Is that the S-Flow switch? Page 288 in the manual.

BTW that switch also seems to shut off the passenger-side vents if if there is no one in the seat and the extra cooling is not needed. If a passenger is in the seat those front vents are on. My biggest "challenge" is remembering to turn off the S-Flow switch when people are in the rear seat!

As a double 450h owner, S-Flow has zero advantages for me. I have to over ride it every time I get in the vehicle.
i will ask Lexus if they can override it to stay OFF. When I get in a hot car, I want BOTH center vents pushing cold air.

I looked on Carista to turn Sflow off, but it had no setting.

I suspect that it is not on because you put the briefcase in before starting the car. I don't know if that's how it works or not. I know that if I pick someone up and they get in the back the air is moving. You can always just hit the s flow button. I find the whole system a little different. I don't like the sflow that much and would prefer it just blows air everywhere all the time. It would be nice to have an on/off button for the air.

I am not sure how S-flow detects passengers. The manual states that of a rear door is opened and closed, the S-flow turns off. However, that is not my experience. Maybe the rear door must be opened after the front door.

I think Lexus might be changing this in the future and allowing the driver to have the vehicle default to always on. Reason I said so is that I am participating in a Lexus driver survey I get every week. In the second survey there was extensive questions about how often people sit in the back seat and how often you over rode the s-flow button.
I want my S-Flow off all the time. My 450h saves no fuel by using it and when the vehicle is really warm the extra vents are desired to cool the vehicle quickly. They just need to have the S-Flow button to remain at the last driver setting.

Strange, I can turn off my s-flow and it stays off.

Today, the kids got on the back, then I got in. The rear vent had no air and the kids complained it was hot. I had to turn off the s-flow and then the rear vent started blowing air.
