Padded dashboards in cars are safer than non-padded ones because they provide a softer surface that can absorb some of the impact energy during a collision. This reduces the risk of serious injuries, such as head trauma, that can occur when an occupant strikes a hard, unyielding surface. The cushioning helps to dissipate forces and minimize blunt force injuries, thereby enhancing overall passenger safety.

Padded dashboards in cars are safer in an accident than non padded ones because an occupant hitting the dashboard has?

Padding slows the occupant hitting it down "slightly slower" that if the same occupant hit a non padded dash. (it reduces the G forces experienced, helping to prevent injury.) The padding acts (to a much lesser degree) like a parachute acts to slow a person falling from the sky. Also, a padded dash help to avoid the person hitting "sharp" parts of the dash. Consider jumping onto a "bed of nails" and then jumping on to the same bed of nails with a mattress over the top of it. Same effect.

How do you change the dashboard lights in a 1996 Isuzu?

I was told that the cost is high because the top of the dashboard has to be removed in order to obtain access to the lights. I did not have the lights replaced. carlpers
