Abstract
A multi-door automotive Passenger Side Inflatable Restraint system includes an instrument panel including a substrate, a plurality of doors, and a cover attached to the instrument panel. The plurality of doors includes a forward door that is substantially trapezoidal in shape, a rearward door that is substantially trapezoidal in shape, a left lateral door that is substantially triangular in shape, and a right lateral door that is substantially triangular in shape. The cover has no stress risers, such as scoring, reduced material thickness, or other types of stress risers know to reduce tensile strength in a localized area
