The invention relates to a display arrangement for distance-transmitting device mounted on an instrument panel of a vehicle. The device has at least one display unit on the instrument panel within the field of vision of the driver. The display unit is advantageously inserted into an opening, in particular into a slit-like duct provided or into an extension thereof, in the instrument panel in approximately the vertical direction and to such an extent that a top part of the display unit which contains the display area, projects upwards beyond the instrument panel. The instrument panel has at least one air-outlet slit which extends along the vehicle's windshield, approximately parallel to it and is intended for ventilating the windshield. For the purpose of retrofitting the instrument panel with auxiliary and additional modules for assisting the driver without adversely affecting the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the instrument panel not yet fitted with auxiliary and additional modules, the slit-like duct is introduced into the top side of the instrument panel, in extension of the at least one air-outlet slit, and serves for the purpose of inserting or adding the auxiliary and additional modules.
