In the particular embodiment described in the specification, a knee-restraining device for vehicles, such as passenger cars, has a hollow-profile support assembly that extends across the entire width of the vehicle under the dashboard. The support assembly consists of two hollow-profile support member joined by interconnecting ends and is attached to the car body at the sides of the vehicle, and a deformation element supported on each hollow-profile support member is flexible and energy-absorbent. To facilitate the simplest possible assembly of such a knee-restraining device in a vehicle that has, for example, a center panel, the hollow-profile support members have cross-sections of such dimensions that the adjacent ends of the support members can be fitted into each other to create a locking connection which can be subsequently disconnected.
