Default Back Seat A/C Vents

I noticed on my car even with the A/C at full blast, no air comes out of the back seat air vents located in the back of the center armrest. Is this normal? If there a setting to turn on to make them work? The car is still under warranty and I want it fixed if its broken. Not sure if they are there for looks for not.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that mine has a wheel next to the vents to shutoff the air flow. Be sure that this is to the open position. Also I don't believe that the air to the back is very strong.

You may ask them to pull the center console tray out and make sure the ducts are still connected.

Check the mode switch for the A/C. If you are using the Auto feature, the vents are preset for thefeet and defrost vents. If you cycle through the mode switch until thedash vents are the only thing selected the rear vents are stonger. Well, at least on my '05 this is what I've found.

Badmojo is right. The air flow isn't that strong- I have noticed the same thing on mine and I too had the wheel positioned so the vent was open but not a whole lot came out.
