Abstract
Particular embodiments may provide an airflow control system including a movable air duct, a lower vent, and an upper vent. The movable air duct may be configured to move with adjustments to a steering column. The lower vent may be adjustable in connection with the steering column. The lower vent may include a curvature that directs a lower airflow stream from the movable air duct. The upper vent may be above the lower vent. The upper vent may direct an upper airflow stream. The upper airflow stream may intersect the lower airflow stream to form a merged airflow stream.
