A covering part for mounting on a front wall of an occupant compartment of a vehicle, having an instrument panel and a center console which starts in the center on a lower instrument panel area and continues in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle occupant compartment. For providing a sufficiently large free surface for a combined accommodation of a plurality of operating elements with or without control and display elements in a cohesive operating unit and of large-surface air outlet openings, the instrument panel is constructed with a hood-shaped center part which extends in a diagonally sloped manner with respect to the center console and changes into the center console at the end side. The center part is provided with a bridge console spanning the center part at a distance from its front surface, which bridge console extends from the upper instrument panel area to the center console.
