Abstract: A ventilation system including a housing into which a volume of air is directed in an initial air flow direction. The ventilation system includes an air flow guide extending between a base portion and a tip thereof. The air flow guide is movable between a first position, in which the tip is located at a predetermined first minimum distance from an inlet portion wall, and a second position, in which the tip is located at a predetermined second minimum distance from the inlet portion wall, to partially guide the air flowing into the housing into a first channel and a second channel respectively. The ventilation system includes a number of cross-car vanes that are movable together to direct air flowing through the housing in a selected direction relative to the initial air flow direction.

Abstract: A ventilation system including a housing, with an inlet end into which air is directed, and an outlet end at which the air exits. The housing includes an inlet portion at the inlet end, and first and second channels downstream from the inlet portion. The ventilation system includes an air flow guide element pivotable between a first position, in which a first major portion of the air flowing into the inlet end is directed into the first channel and a first minor portion of the air flow is directed into the second channel, and a second position, in which a second major portion of the air flowing into the inlet end is directed into the second channel and a second minor portion of the air flow is directed into the first channel.
