Ventilation Outlets
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ventilation outlets allow the free-flow of air through the passenger compartment. The outlets are installed in the left and right rear quarter panels, behind the tail lamps.
Each ventilation outlet comprises a grille covered by a soft rubber flap, and is effectively a non-return valve. The flaps open and close automatically depending on the differential between passenger compartment and outside air pressures.
