Better Airflow to Back Seat?
I have a new W222 with the power and heated/cooled rear seats. However my kids still complain that there is not enough air flow out of the vents in the rear center console. This has always been a complain with all of the S-classes.

Is there any way to force more air towards the back seats? My wife and I don't really want gale force winds up front.

Thanks.

On the A/C menu, you have it set so the rear climate control can be set independently, right? If they push it down to 65 in the back, they do not get enough air?

You do have the rear A/C controls in the back of the center control, right?

I agree, even when I close the vents in the front the air flow in the rear is still pretty terrible; not impressed

Same here. Kids are complaining in the back seats. Evidently no better for 2015 model. Smaller trunk space, back seats and low power AC. Other than that, it's a beauty and a tech marvel.

Is it possible to set the rear temperature even if you don't have the rear air conditioning panel.

Smaller than other comparable large sedans. 16.4 cu ft I believe. Also the rear leg room is tighter than W221. Just seems tighter overall inside. I've had W221 and 750 Li.

I'll try it tomorrow, but is that user manual on the rear control only for cars with that option?

Truth about the back seats - they are smaller than my W221 I had before.
