• works in conjunction with the air conditioning and heating system, improving perceived thermal comfort,
• contributes to the effectiveness of defogging the windshield in mixed airflow modes.

Thanks to its factory design, the vent maintains the correct channel geometry, which promotes stable airflow and reduces unwanted cabin noise.
