A control panel arrangement is provided for a motor vehicle in which the control
panel arrangement includes a lower part and an upper part between which a first
and second air circulation channel are constructed. The channels extend at least
in some segments approximately transversely to the vehicle direction and run at
least regionally parallel to each other and are separated from each other by a
channel wall and furthermore lead to first and second air outlets arranged at least
in the region of lateral ends of the control panel arrangement. The second air
circulation channel is continued upstream from the second air outlet allocated
to it at least in segments inside the first air circulation channel with a channel
extension for a compact design of the control panel arrangement.
