It will be controlled by two door-lock actuators. They will act as a pulling horizontal actuation on each side of the floor register. Only one actuator will be active at a time and pull a bicycle brake cable in order to OPEN or CLOSE the grille opening.

There will also be a small indication panel beside my scangauge. It will display when the active grille is either open or closed and warn me when the radiator fan is on.
