Abstract
A central console for a vehicle having a ventilated storage compartment which is connected via at least one air inlet to at least one air duct in order to ventilate the vehicle rear, and having a control device for opening and closing the one air inlet. For the purpose of ventilating the storage compartment without adversely affecting the cross section of the air duct which continues in order to ventilate the rear, at least one air duct runs laterally past the storage compartment, and the air inlet is arranged in the front end wall of the storage compartment and the air duct is widened in that duct section which is mounted upstream of the air inlet.
