How to turn on the rear air vents in Model 3?

Press the CLIMATE button on the center console panel, and you can set the air volume level through the air conditioning buttons or icons. The entertainment main screen will briefly display the air conditioning setting information, and the system will automatically control fan speed, air outlet mode, air conditioning mode, and internal circulation.
I remember being quite confused about the rear air vents the first time I drove a Model 3. Later, I realized the car's air conditioning design is very modern—everything is controlled via the center touchscreen. After getting in and starting the car, just tap the air conditioning icon at the bottom of the screen to enter the control interface. There, you'll see options for zoned control, such as a 'Rear' switch—turning it on activates the rear vents. You can also adjust the airflow and direction with simple swipes, which is quite convenient. I've also noticed that in automatic mode, the rear vents adjust automatically based on temperature, which is much smarter than the button controls in older cars. When I'm driving, I usually remind rear passengers to adjust it themselves since the screen responds quickly and is easy to learn. Don’t forget to clean the vent filters regularly, as dust buildup can reduce airflow. Overall, the controls are very intuitive, and new users will get the hang of it after a few tries.
The rear air vent control in the Tesla Model 3 is integrated into the digital system. Simply select the 'Rear' area on the central touchscreen's climate control interface to activate the fan function; the airflow direction options also ensure even distribution of cool air. When I take it on long trips, I often combine it with the auto mode to save battery, with the rear fan speed automatically set to medium. I really appreciate the Model 3's efficient and eco-friendly air conditioning system. New users are advised to familiarize themselves with the screen navigation first to avoid incorrect operations. If you don't feel the rear airflow, remember to check the settings or if the filter is clogged—never overlook the air quality inside the car.
