An air-cooling device for cooling motor vehicle components by travel-induced airflow. The device includes a frame delimiting a cooling opening, a cover, which can be inserted into the cooling opening via a separating gap and which is at a distance from the frame for closing a majority of the cooling opening in a closed position. At least one connecting element is connected to the frame and to the cover for bridging the separating gap. The cover can be moved between the closed and open positions, in which the cover is at least partially moved out from an opening plane of the cooling opening delimited by the frame via an elastic deformation of the connecting element. An on-demand and energy-efficient cooling of motor vehicle components is enabled by the elastically deformable connecting element, which is connected to the frame and to the cover and can also cover the separating gap.
