The invention discloses an expandable passenger protecting apparatus, including a dashboard (10) having a breakable line (11a) invisible from the outside, an airbag door (11) defined by the breakable line (11a), an expandable passenger protecting module (50) arranged inside the dashboard to be aligned with the door (11), and a door holding unit (30) connected to both the airbag door and the dashboard for allowing the door to be rotated while maintaining one end of the door to the dashboard when the airbag is expanded and projected from the dashboard to a passenger. The present invention provides excellent operational efficiency of the airbag as well as the low manufacturing cost of the apparatus.
