Defroster Vents

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2013 Volvo C70, 2012 Volvo C70, 2011 Volvo C70, 2010 Volvo C70, and 2009 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are four defroster vents, two for the windshield and two for the front 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 side window defrosters are a continuation of the windshield ducts.
