If your vehicle has this rear climate control system there are rear seat audio controls located in the center console.

The rear system can be controlled through the AUX button on the front climate control panel. Press the AUX button to turn the rear climate control system on or off. An indicator light in the AUX button comes on when the rear climate control system is on. The direction, temperature, and speed of the airflow for the rear of the vehicle will be the same as those set for the front of the vehicle.

Use the controls located in the rear of the front console, to independently control the air flow for the rear of the vehicle separately from that of the front of the vehicle. To turn the system on, press any of the rear air conditioning control buttons, except the button. To turn the system off, press and hold the button.
