KNEE AIRBAG DEVICE AND MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DRIVING MOTOR

摘要

A knee airbag device and a drive motor for an electric power steering device are mounted on a steering column so as to achieve an improved mass balance about an instrument panel reinforcement member. A drive motor (64) for an electric power steering device (12) is mounted at a position on the front of the vehicle which position is on the opposite side of an instrument panel reinforcement member (16) from a knee airbag device (10). That is, the knee airbag (10) is mounted at a position rearward, relative to the vehicle, of the instrument panel reinforcement member (16) and the electric power steering device (12) is mounted at a position forward, relative to the vehicle, of the instrument panel reinforcement member (16).
