Defroster vents

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are six defroster vents, two for the windshield, two for the front side windows and two for the rear side windows. The two for the windshield are designed so that the majority of the air is directed up against the windshield. The remaining air trickles out at the bottom edge of the windshield to help keep the windshield wipers free of ice.

The air ducts to the front side window defrosters are a continuation of the windshield ducts.

The air ducts to the rear side windows go via the floor to the B posts. The air ducts are a continuation of the windshield ducts.

The defroster vents in the B posts can be adjusted by the rear seat passengers.
