An instrument panel support apparatus including a support portion configured by an on-board equipment or a fixing member fixed to the on-board equipment, and a connecting portion connecting the support portion and the end of the instrument panel. The connecting portion includes an engaging portion provided at the end of the instrument panel, and an engaged portion provided at the support portion so as to be engaged with the engaging portion when the instrument panel and the support portion are connected by pushing of one of the instrument panel and the support portion to the other of the instrument panel and the support portion in a predetermined direction. The engaging portion is configured to engage with the engaged portion in contact with the engaged portion or a periphery of the engaged portion by an elastic deformation of the engaging portion in the connecting portion.

A D seat front beam has an inner end in a vehicle width direction fixed to a first column support point, and a point of fixation of the D seat front beam to the front lower pillar is provided further on a rear side in a vehicle front and rear direction than a first column support point. The D seat front beam extends toward an inner side in the vehicle width direction and toward the front side in the vehicle front and rear direction, from the point of fixation to the front lower pillar toward the first column support point.

A cross-member structure for a vehicle is disclosed. The cross-member structure may comprise a beam structure (e.g. generally horizontal cross-member when installed) and a support (e.g. generally vertical when installed). The cross-member structure may provide support for an instrument panel and/or may integrate with vehicle systems. The cross-member structure may provide a set of sections/segments (e.g. section structures) for integration within the structure of the vehicle and with vehicle systems. The beam structure may comprise a set of mounting structures, a beam structure section, a steering system section, an intermediate section and an airbag system interface structure section. The cross-member structure may be configured with an arrangement of beam/structure sections, mounting sections, and structural elements including members, webs, flanges, stiffeners, reinforcement, plates, walls, surfaces, etc. The cross-member structure may provide structural reinforcement for the vehicle and may integrate vehicle systems/subsystems with the instrument panel.

Systems and apparatus for a bezel assembly for a heads-up display (HUD) unit located in an instrument panel of a vehicle, the instrument panel being adjacent to a front windshield of the vehicle. The bezel assembly includes a bezel having a rear edge aligned with a front edge of the instrument panel and an interior border defining a bezel opening. The bezel assembly also includes a chute located beneath the bezel and above the HUD unit. The chute includes an exterior border defining a top chute opening aligned with the bezel opening, and an interior border defining a bottom chute opening aligned with a display screen of the HUD unit and having a shape corresponding to the display screen of the HUD unit.
