Abstract
An assembly for a motor vehicle includes an instrument panel and a restraining device which is configured to limit a relative movement between at least a panel section of the instrument panel and a vehicle component of the motor vehicle to a predefined maximum value in a movement direction towards an interior space of a passenger cell of the motor vehicle, when a force is transmitted between the instrument panel and the vehicle component as a result of an accident that causes deformation of the instrument panel.
