摘要

The safety device has a medium for energy absorption for protecting a passenger and an impact surface (100) for the passenger (102). The impact surface is arranged in reversible movable manner in the direction of the passenger by an electromechanical drive (104). The safety device is formed for an instrument panel (106) of a motor vehicle and is formed for the knee protection of the passenger. The impact surface is formed by a footwell cover panel. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a glove compartment for a motor vehicle with a medium for energy absorption for the protection of a passenger (2) a method for the energy absorption by a safety device of a motor vehicle.
