Abstract:
In a vehicle front structure 12, when there is a frontal collision of a vehicle, an air bag 32 is inflated and deployed to the outside of a column cover 22, and thereby, the knees of a driver are restrained and protected by the air bag 32. A right side wall 28C and a left side wall 28D of a second lower column cover 28 are opened by the air bag 32 inflating and deploying. Consequently, the air bag 32 can be inflated and deployed with certainty to the vehicle right and left sides of the column cover 22.
