Rear Vents

Passengers are getting warm in back. I noticed no air flow from the rear vents. The owner's manual shows a vertical wheel between the two vents and states to turn it to change air flow. I have no wheel between the vents or anywhere! How do I get some air flow out of these vents?

Which package did you get? I would try to manually up the AC, vent from outside, or vent inside with full auto. Better yet, call up your service manager!

I have Nav. package. I have tried to adjust air manually, but no help. I will check with service, but before they say they have no idea, thought I would check here first. Do you have a wheel to adjust air flow?

Mine work. Note that when slid to the extreme left position, they cut off the air (and you'll see the vertical slats are closed off).

The manual also shows that the back seats can recline and move forward/backward, however they don’t in my A-Spec and I doubt they do in the Advance. I’m wondering if they slipped a page from the MDX in there.

Thanks NightWriter. I did try moving the tabs up/down, but probably not right/left. That's what I get for reading the manual. I will try tomorrow.

Not to switch topics but do the front center vents have any sort of open close feature like the rear vents. I dont see dials. In my TLX its annoying that I cant close the front center vents. I rented an elantra and it had open close dials on the front center vents.

I discovered this the old fashioned way... fiddling around with it. But that highly magnified view reveals little emblems on the vent tabs that were probably intended to aid those who are inclined to read instructions. And who have really good close-up vision!

Side dash vents have dials to close them off. The center dash vents don't, but they can be directed pretty far toward the center.
