Abstract
An air flow control system for an off-road vehicle includes a first movable side panel configured to be positioned proximate to a first lateral side surface of a body of an engine hood of the off-road vehicle. The system also includes a controller configured to receive a first signal indicative of a temperature of an engine of the off-road vehicle, to access a desired engine temperature range from a storage device, and to output a third signal to one or more actuators indicative of instructions to move the first movable side panel laterally outward relative to the first lateral side surface of the body to enable a flow of air through a gap between the first movable side panel and the body when the first signal indicates that the temperature of the engine of the off-road vehicle is greater than the desired engine temperature range.
