PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress deformation of a cabin bulkhead into the cabin when a vehicle goes in collision. SOLUTION: An intake manifold 6 connected with an engine 5 is installed between the engine 5 and a dash panel 3 as cabin bulkhead, and a projection 16 protruding toward the intake manifold 6 is provided in that part of the dash panel 3 which is positioned closest to the intake manifold 6. When the vehicle goes in a head-on collision, the tail of the intake manifold 6 is pressed by the projection 16 on the dash panel 3 to cause the intake manifold 6 to rupture, and the intake manifold 6 separates from the engine 5, which allows suppression of pressing to the dash panel 3 by the intake manifold 6.
