ABSTRACT:
Provided at the occupant's side of a steering post is an energy absorbing knee protector, which is normally covered by a knee panel, whereby the occupant does not observe and contact the knee protector. In an emergency of the vehicle, if the knees of the occupant collide with the knee panel to deform the same, the knee panel imparts an energy of collision generated in the knees to the knee protector by deforming the same, so that the energy of collision can be effectively absorbed.
