Those are actually air vents that connect directly to the HVAC unit behind the center console. They blow on the feet of the rear passenger, there's one on the passenger side also. They were quite easy to remove, each is held in place by a single phillips head screw.

I'm not sure precisely *when* they're activated though. I suspect that air comes out of them whenever air is being blown on the feet of the driver and passenger.
