ABSTRACT:
A knee protection device for a vehicle includes a lower crash pad, a mounting unit and an inflation limit unit. The lower crash pad has an internal space communicating with an inflator and a rear surface formed to be folded by a plurality of creases. The lower crash pad is mounted to the lower end of an upper crash pad, and is inflated forwards while the rear surface is smoothed out in the explosion of the inflator, thus protecting a passenger's knees. The mounting unit is provided on the rear surface of the lower crash pad and coupled to a vehicle body. The inflation limit unit is connected between the front and rear surfaces of the lower crash pad, and limits the forward moving distance of the front surface from the rear surface when the lower crash pad inflates.
