ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel for a motor vehicle extends over the width of a passenger compartment in front of a driver's seat and of a passenger seat, and exhibits an outer skin provided with a multiplicity of small through-passages which are distributed at least over a passenger-side region. The outer skin is produced from a temperature-independently dimensionally stable plastic material, and an instrument-panel reinforcement provided beneath the outer skin exhibits a through-passage opening for a passenger airbag in the region of the passenger seat. The through-passages are arranged as perforations which permit the outer skin to be torn open in the region of the through-passage opening, the perforations distributed over the instrument panel being in a pattern adapted to the contours of the through-passage opening such that the potential outlet region of this airbag cannot be detected.
