Abstract
An air flap arrangement for a motor vehicle comprises a housing having an air passage opening, at least two air flaps movably mounted on the housing, and a force- and motion-transmitting motion drive coupled to the air flaps. The air flaps are coupled by a transmission and/or linkage for mutual movement. The air flaps are movable between a closed position, in which the cross-sectional area of the air passage opening through which air can flow is reduced, and a passage position, which is different from the closed position, in which the cross-sectional area of the air passage opening through which air can flow is greater than in the closed position. At least one sensor is associated with each air flap of a plurality of air flaps, such that the position of the air flaps can be detected by the sensor.
