摘要

Panel for covering a recess (14) that accommodates an airbag (26), which panel comprises an outer foil (20) having at least one foil layer (20a, 20b) and having an outermost foil layer (20a) and a rupture layer (22) having a greater stiffness than the outermost foil layer (20a) of the outer foil (20). The rupture layer (22) is attached to one surface of a foil layer (20a, 20b), whereby said rupture layer (22) is provided with at least one break line (24) that is confined to said rupture layer (22) and is arranged to rupture along said at least one break line (24) on inflation of an airbag (26) and to form an opening through the panel (16) for deployment of the inflated airbag (26).
