ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle provided at the foot space with an elongated belt, as a knee protector. The elongated belt has one end secured to the vehicle side panel and a pretension device, fixed to the tunnel projection, anchors the opposite end of the elongated belt to apply a predetermined tension on the belt. The belt is provided with at least two longitudinally extensible folds which are disposed on the opposite sides from the impact receiving zone on the belt. Each longitudinally extensible fold has superposed layers which are interconnected by stitches that are breakable, thereby absorbing the impact energy applied by the occupant's knees on the impact receiving zone.
