An instrument panel for a vehicle, having an instrument panel upper part and a frame-like basic body, which can be mounted on a transverse mounting bar of the vehicle body, which basic body has receptacles for equipping with functional elements, for example radio, glove box, etc., and delimits at least one air channel of a vehicle ventilation system, in particular a defrost channel extending in the transverse direction of the vehicle along the windshield, wherein on the passenger side of the instrument panel an airbag arrangement is integrated which has a firing channel reaching to the instrument panel upper part and an airbag module mounted on a firing channel wall. According to the invention the basic body has at least one supporting section on which the firing channel wall is supported.

A ventilation system for a motor car includes an electronic display for displaying information and an air distribution chamber disposed on a back of the electronic display where air from the air distribution chamber is flowable through an air outlet and into an internal space of the motor car. An air calming chamber is disposed on a back of the air distribution chamber. The air calming chamber is at least partially separated fluidically from the air distribution chamber and is connected fluidically to the air distribution chamber via at least one through hole where via the at least one through hole the air distribution chamber is suppliable with air to be supplied to the internal space from the air calming chamber.

A vehicle trim element having at least one functional component and at least one aerator of the vehicle compartment. The aerator includes at least one duct for conveying a gas flow defining an opening for diffusing the gas flow, the conveying duct extending in a main direction. The aerator is arranged to diffuse a gas flow in the passenger compartment of the vehicle in a diffusion direction in which the gas flow is diffused and which is variable by Coanda effect, between a first diffusion direction and a second diffusion direction that is different from the first diffusion direction. The opening for diffusing the gas flow extends around the periphery of at least one portion of the functional component.

A motor-vehicle dashboard includes a shaped support body having at least one fixing seat for positioning and fixing a ventilation unit arranged for providing an airflow towards the motor-vehicle interior, and a positioning adapter body rigidly connected to the shaped support body at the fixing seat, and arranged to selectively receive said ventilation unit. The positioning adapter body is a ring-shaped support flange having a main opening and fastening and support elements for rigidly and coaxially connecting the positioning adapter body to the seat and the ventilation unit to the positioning adapter body.

A vehicle that includes: a crossbeam that extends along a width of the vehicle; an instrument panel that is supported by the crossbeam and which includes an opening; support brackets that are connected to the crossbeam; a display module that is positioned within the opening and which includes display brackets that are connected to the support brackets such that the display module is supported by the crossbeam; a duct assembly that is supported by the instrument panel such that the duct assembly is spaced axially from an inner surface of the instrument panel along a length of the vehicle so as to define an access channel that facilitates access to the display brackets and connection of the display module to the support brackets; and a vent that extends into the duct assembly such that the vent is positioned vertically above the display module.

A vehicle cockpit module assembled to a front area of the interior of a vehicle, the vehicle cockpit module including a main module composed of a driver module corresponding to a driver seat and a center module disposed at a center of the vehicle, and comprising vehicle control parts, driver seat convenience parts, and driver seat safety parts, and a side module configured to be assembled to or separated from a side of the main module corresponding to a front passenger seat, and comprising front passenger seat convenience parts and front passenger seat safety parts, wherein the side module is configured to be connected to a front part of a vehicle body and a side end of the main module when assembled, and a space in which the side module previously existed is utilized as a storage space, in response to the side module being separated.

A mounting structure for a vehicle communication device includes an instrument panel, a vehicle communication device, and an air conditioning duct. The vehicle communication device is disposed inside the instrument panel and mounted on the instrument panel. The air conditioning duct is part of a vehicle air conditioner and includes a connection portion connected to the vehicle communication device. A portion of the air conditioning duct different from the connection portion is fixed to, and supported by, the instrument panel.

A modular dashboard system including: a dashboard defining a channel; an electrical connector within the channel configured to be connected to a power source; a plurality of modules each configured to be seated within the channel, at least some of the plurality of modules including electrical contacts configured to cooperate with the electrical connector of the channel to power the plurality of modules; and a duct in fluid communication with both the channel and an HVAC system to transfer airflow conditioned by the HVAC system to the channel.
