Abstract
A cooling air system for motor vehicles has a radiator that is arranged in a front-end area of a motor vehicle and through which a cooling air stream flows. The exhaust air stream exiting from the radiator is directed beneath the motor vehicle by outlets that are arranged on the bottom of the motor vehicle. The outlets can be covered by an air guide element. In order to create a cooling air system for motor vehicles that has a simple design and simultaneously ensures favorable guidance of the cooling air, in the case of a motor vehicle whose outlets for cooling air can be covered by an air guide element, to arrange the air guide element in such a way that the exhaust air stream flowing out of the air guide element is directed basically parallel to one of the air streams flowing around the front end of the car.
