Dashboard
A dashboard, dash, and sometimes fascia (chiefly in
British English) is a
control panel located under the
windshield of an
automobile. It contains instrumentation and controls pertaining to operation of the vehicle. Originally, a "dashboard" was the upturned front of a horse-drawn chariot or wagon, which protected the driver from mud and debris thrown up by horse's hooves.
