Abstract
A motor vehicle is equipped with an outside air introduction assemblyfunctioning to introduce the outside air into a radiatorin an engine cooling system during driving, as well as with an outside air introduction assemblyfunctioning to introduce the outside air into an engineduring driving. The motor vehicle is also equipped with shutter platescapable of regulating the amount of the outside air to be introduced by the outside air introduction assembly, as well as with shutter platescapable of regulating the amount of the outside air to be introduced by the outside air introduction assembly. The shutter platesand the shutter platesare individually actuated and controlled to increase the amount of the outside air to be introduced by the outside air introduction assemblyand the amount of the outside air to be introduced by the outside air introduction assemblywith an increase of temperature of cooling water detected as a cooling water temperature Twe in the engine cooling system. Such actuation and control assures the adequate cooling performances to cool down the cooling water by the radiatorand to cool down the engine
