Knee Diverter: Description and Operation
Knee Bolster
The Knee Bolsters are designed to help restrain the lower torso of front seat occupants by absorbing the energy through the front seat occupant's upper
legs. In a frontal collision the front seat occupant legs may come in contact with the knee bolsters. The knee bolsters are designed to crush or deform,
absorbing some of the impact, which helps to reduce bodily injuries. The driver and passenger knee bolsters are located in the lower part of the
instrument panel and must be inspected for damages after a collision.
