ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel structure includes a transversely extending support member to which a steering apparatus, a knee protector, or both a steering apparatus and a knee protector are attached for relieving a shock load applied to the knees of a driver upon a collision of an automotive vehicle. The instrument panel structure is provided with a reinforcement or retainer for rigidly reinforcing the support member so as to prevent upward deformation of the support member during a collision.
