ABSTRACT:
A lid structure for an air bag system capable of preventing passengers on a vehicle from injuring themselves by inflating an air bag when the vehicle crashes. The lid structure includes a main opening and a sub opening through which the air bag can inflate outside of an instrumental panel. A main lid is provided for closing the main opening and a sub lid is provided for closing the sub opening. The sub lid is formed from a weakened part of the instrumental panel and is easily broken by the inflating force of the air bag. To avoid removal of the sub lid from the panel a deformable attachment is secured to the sub lid and the instrument panel.
