Instrument panel (10) of a motor vehicle, with a carrier (11) for a decorative material (12), wherein the carrier (11) extends in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle in the front area of the same below a windscreen (14) between a driver area and a passenger area of the motor vehicle, with a passenger-side
front airbag module (15) which includes a
gas generator (16) and an
airbag (17), with a firing channel (18) for the
airbag (17) of the passenger-side
front airbag module (15), wherein the firing channel (18) is limited in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle by a transversely extending front wall (20) and a transversely extending rear wall (21), with an
airbag flap (22) incorporated into the carrier (11), which opens along a transversely extending predetermined
breaking point (23) as a result of a triggering of the passenger-side
front airbag module (15) and folds open about at least a transversely extending pivot axis (24), wherein the predetermined
breaking point (23) is positioned adjacent to the rear wall (21) of the firing channel (18) behind the same, with a cover element (26) associated with the rear wall (21) of the firing channel (18), which is attached to the rear wall (21) by a first section (26u) and which is not attached to the rear wall (21) by a second section (26o), wherein the second section (26o) of the cover element (26) associated with the rear wall (21) is dimensioned such that, in the event of the deployment of the airbag (17) of the passenger-side front airbag module (15) caused by the triggering of the passenger-side front airbag module (15), it covers a transversely extending, rearward fracture edge (27) of the predetermined
breaking point (23) as seen in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, with a further cover element (28) associated with the front wall (20) of the firing channel (18), which is attached to the front wall (20) with a first section (28u) and which is not attached to the front wall (20) with a second section (28o), wherein the second section (28o) of the further cover element (28) is dimensioned such that, in the event of the deployment of the airbag (17) of the passenger-side front airbag module (15) caused by the triggering of the passenger-side front airbag module (15), it covers a pivot axis (24) of the airbag flap (22) running in the area of the front wall (20).
