摘要： An instrument panel structure is provided for an automotive vehicle. The instrument panel structure includes an energy absorbing panel member fabricated of a relatively rigid impact resistant material. The panel member has an upper portion adapted to accept head impacts of a vehicle occupant and a lower portion adapted to accept knee impact of a vehicle occupant. The upper portion is weakened with respect to the lower portion by providing spaced apart protuberances on the surface on the reverse side of the surface designed to be impacted so that it will give more readily under impact than does the lower portion.
