1. An air-guard mounted on a carrier of a front-end module,
wherein the carrier includes an opening through which traveling wind flows to a cooling module mounted on a rear side and includes a duct mounting portion having an inlet allowing a portion of traveling wind to be introduced into a suction duct,
wherein the air-guard is mounted on a front surface of the opening so that traveling wind is concentrated on the cooling module,
wherein the traveling wind, when introduced into a grille is divided into an upper-flow and a lower-flow, and the upper-flow flows through the duct mounting portion to the suction duct, and the lower-flow flows through the opening to the cooling module,
wherein the air-guard includes a sub-guide structure configured to guide air introduced to a region between the opening and the inlet to the cooling module or the suction duct to prevent a loss of air introduced to the region.
