- Description
- The product is an automotive rear console air vent designed for installation within the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. It forms part of the vehicle’s air distribution system and is used to direct conditioned air to rear occupants. The air vent incorporates adjustable horizontal vanes (H-vanes), allowing vertical airflow direction, and adjustable vertical vanes (V-vanes) to control left and right airflow. Airflow volume can be regulated or fully shut off by means of an integrated thumbwheel, which operates an internal air door. The housing of the rear console air vent is manufactured from polycarbonate and ABS plastic. The internal vanes are moulded from polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyoxymethylene (POM) plastics. The component has no independent heating or cooling function and operates solely as a mechanical air-direction and flow-control outlet within the vehicle’s air conditioning system.
