PURPOSE: To obtain a shunting structure of a brake pedal which requres no bumper to absorb a striking energy in an engine room.

CONSTITUTION: When the front side of a vehicle strikes, a brake booster 16 fixed to the outer side of the car room side of a dash panel 14 is pushed out to the rear side of the vehicle, so as to push out the dash panel 14. A holding plate 24 formed at the upper end of the dash panel 14 is fixed to a cowl panel 22 through a fixing bolt 28, and in the above striking condition, it is drawn out from a slit 23 while absorbing the striking energy. As a result, a pedal bracket 18 is released from the connecting condition with the cowl panel 22, and the upper part of the dash panel 14 is inclined. Following this inclination, the pedal bracket 18 is also inclined, and a brake pedal 20 is shunted to the dash panel 14 side, so as to aviod the striking with the occupant.
