Cross member (20) for a vehicle (10), which cross member (20) is arranged to extend substantially in the transverse (Y) direction of said vehicle (10) when mounted on a vehicle chassis (16) of said vehicle (10), and on which cross member (20) a first (26) of two mating mechanical parts, which are arranged to engage to fasten and/or lock a bonnet (12) of said vehicle (10), is arranged to be mounted in a designated position (P). An area in the vicinity of said designated position (P) comprises at least one mechanically weakened deformable portion (30) that is arranged to be more readily deformable than the majority of the remainder of said cross member (20) in the event of a collision with a pedestrian, said cross member (20) when said cross member (20) is mounted on said vehicle chassis (16) and subjected to an impact or compression force in the event of a collision with a pedestrian, whereby the deformation of said cross member (20) in the vicinity of said designated position (P) is facilitated and whereby said first mechanical part (26) is consequently arranged to be controllably displaced from its designated position (P) in the event of said collision.
