2015 5.0 Ultimate Heat blowing from under the seat

[barboo]

I just bought a 2015 5.0 Ultimate, and I'm wondering if any other owner is experiencing heated air blowing on your legs from underneath the drivers seat, even when the climate control is on a cool 68 degrees or so?

Thanks for all replies.

Check the setting of the rear seat air vent. This is one of the poor design items. It is manually controlled only from the back of the console. Difficult for the driver to adjust. If they weren't going to make the rear seat a separate zone, it should have just followed the passenger zone as opposed to the clunky adjustment they installed.

There is a setting in the DIS to turn the rear HVAC system on/off.

That was the culprit. If the rear vents are on maximum hot, hot air blows underneath both front seats, and also, mitigates the effectiveness of the front seat cooling feature.

A simple adjustment to cool for the back vents solved the issue.

Thanks.

That is not a great solution. The rear vents help with the overall comfort of the car. I just object to how the temerature is set on them.
