    Publication number: 20170057319
    Abstract: An air inlet assembly selectively directs intake air from an exterior region to an interior region. The assembly includes an inlet panel having a first inlet wall defining an aperture and a shutter member. The shutter member is movable relative to the inlet panel between a plurality of positions, including a closed position and an open position. The shutter member includes a vented section operative to provide airflow communication between the exterior and interior region such that the vented section is visible through the aperture when the shutter member is in the open position. The shutter member includes a non-vented section restricting airflow communication between the exterior and interior region such that the non-vented section is visible through the aperture when the shutter member is in the closed position.
