ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel construction for a vehicle capable of receiving and stopping the driver's/passenger's knee regions when a great impact acts on a vehicle to control the impact exerted on the driver's/passenger's knee regions while restraining the driver's/passenger's waist from moving forward along a seating portion of a seat.The construction includes an instrument panel (2) made of synthetic resin, a receiving portion (7) provided in a lower portion of the instrument panel (2) to be separable from the instrument panel, and a moving device (13, 14) for separating the receiving portion (7) from the instrument panel (2) to move the receiving portion rapidly toward a seat (1) positioned rearward when a great impact acts on the vehicle. An absorbing member (8) made of plastically deformable metal or reinforced synthetic resin is attached to the back surface of the receiving portion (7).
