Technical description: Dashboard
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The dashboard is built up around a 3 mm thick plastic core, covered with foil. Between the foil and the core, polyurethane foam is injected to give a soft, shock absorbent surface.
The dashboard is curved so that all the controls and switches are within easy reach from the driving position.
