Good morning! My kiddo the other day commented from the back seat that she couldn’t feel any AC. I tried all the modes and couldn’t notice anything coming out at all. I flipped the vent open and closed, still nothing. In my Jeep I needed a specific mode, but I couldn’t find anything in the user manual.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Auto mode should direct air to the rear seats as long as the S Flow switch is not activated. Page 464 of the manual. S Flow switch is the left of the temperature knob

there's a big green light on a switch left of the temp knob. It has an X for the rear seats. If it's on, no AC to the rear seats.

Make sure you turn off the 'eco mode' switch (which keeps turning itself on for some really annoying reason).

Thanks for the replies, gotta make sure I don’t hit that S Flow button.

I had the same question as the OP, and you probably answered it. Normally I'd assume "green=ON=flow everywhere", but apparently it is "green=OFF=no flow to back seats". Very confusing. Also no idea what "S Flow" means.

And also it will keep coming on randomly, even if you turn it off. Ask my dog how I know....

Yes it does. Mine turns on randomly. What doesn’t make sense. Airflow is quite less, coming out of dash vents, when the rear is shut off.

Hmm.... for me the light is amber when that switch is on. Never green.
Also, I believe it goes on automatically when in ECO mode.

Interesting, never seen it amber in my ORP it’s always green when on (and thus fans off).
