ABSTRACT:
A hidden air bag apparatus for a passenger-side seat of a vehicle includes an inflator disposed in a lower side of an instrument panel of the vehicle, a mounting bracket secured to a cowl cross bar and supporting the inflator, and an air bag configured to be inflated by the inflator. The inflator and the air bag are installed within a defroster air duct disposed under a windshield glass of the vehicle. Because the tearseam formed in the instrument panel can be spaced from where a passenger's head may impact, danger of injury caused by impact between the air bag door and the windshield can be prevented.
