Air that flows through the car seems to dump out through the trunk. So long as "Recirc" is off, that means the trunk effectively gets some heat or A/C. Doesn't happen if you or the car has shut the vents. From empirical observation.

It's funny. When I first saw this in my car, I thought it was a aux port and plugged in a cable.
