First look at footwell air vents on floor under Maverick front seats

[Rob in NY]

The Maverick doesn't have rear AC vents but it does have air vent under the front seat for the benefit of rear passengers. This pic from reddit is of the floor underneath front passenger seat.

Same solution as what the 2021 Bronco has.

That's nice

This is the same way Nissan did it in the frontier.

I hope that's all the Maverick has in common with the Bronco...lol

Does the floor vent always flow, or do you have to have the air set to floor, or mixed mode? (on this car or others, I've never paid attention)

These are mentioned on pg 132 of the owners manual, but it’s nice to see a photo of them. There’s no mention of the rear ducts flowing only on specific settings so I’d guess they’re always on.

P133 mentions that some air may always blow from the footwell vents. To quickly heat the interior they suggest turning the heat and fan to max and directing air to the footwell vents, so it seems like the range goes from very low to high and they may not turn off completely.

Common in most cars these days

One day while we were bored in a F150 we figured out it just matches whatever that side the person in the front has it set to. So with dual zone one side in the rear could be heat and one could be cool depending on what is set up there. Dont know if you have to have floor air on though.

I’ll be driving, so…

Thank you for the info and pixs, vents will be better for heat than air conditioning.

So people with flip flops may have to wipe the sweat off their brow, but at least a layer of cold air will linger by their toes.

Yeah. That's what all of our last 3 vehicles had. Of course, individual seats in the front allow the front vents to circulate to the rear seats in smaller vehicles so I've never seen any reason to need special passenger vents.

Not unusual my Ranger has the under seat vent also.

My wife’s 2010 Fusion has floor vents and they work great for heating, but not cooling. Hot air rises, cold air sinks. Better off at aiming the dash vents.
