Replying to: adatesman (Jan 27, 2009 9:07 pm) Correct! Hot from the bottom of the seats(if you look underneath you can actually see the vents) and Cold from the rear of the center console.

Replying to: lorims (Oct 23, 2008 3:14 pm) On my Freestyle, the rear vents blows whatever the front vents blows. So if you have the front vents on with heat, the rear vent will also blow heat. But if you have the front heat set to the floor vents only, then there won't be any warm air coming out of the rear vents, but there will from the under-seat ducts. If you set the control to both the floor and dash vents and heat, you should get heat in the second row from both the center vent, as well as the under seat ducts. So as an experiment, set the front to vents only, turn the fan to high and full heat, then see what comes out of the rear vents.

I'm not providing an answer here but if you are looking for an explanation from Mazda: Although it is not very visible at first glance, if you look carefully, on top of the buttons it says "COOL AIR" Not too much info, but I guess that helps Mazda wash its hands of any dealer miscommunication http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/0/S/L/1/ag_08mazda5_rearac.jpg
