LS 500 S-Flow

Only noticed not too long ago that nothing was coming out of the back air vents when me or my dad was driving and found out that S-Flow is the reason. Problem is that I have no idea how to get there to change the setting. Can anybody help?

Not watched it, but googling the search string "Lexus LS500 S-Flow" (without the quotes) comes up with this very close to the top of the results:

I've seen that video clip except there is no button for that on the 500 I believe, unless I'm blind

Oh well, it was worth a try. Hope you manage to sort it.

So essentially S-flow means the air only comes out through the front vents if the front 2 doors are opened. Priority being given to the driver if no passenger is sensed to be in the car.

If the rear ones are opened, or the car senses someone is in the seats i.e. through fastening of the seatbelt etc, the S-flow will switch off automatically so that all passengers can have some air flow. 

The s-flow switch is in the infotainment system, theres no physical switch.
