Abstract: In an instrument panel arrangement, a first permanent fixture is attached a second permanent fixture via a latch mechanism including a latch member engaging the first permanent fixture to the second permanent fixture and a handle member for selectively disengaging the latch member. The latch system allows the first and second permanent fixtures to be installed and removed in a simple manner, and this not only simplifies the assembly and maintenance work, but also facilitates the work in separating component parts for recycling when discarding or scrapping the automobile.

Abstract: A first input signal is supplied to a register and stored therein. The first input signal and data stored in the register are supplied to a first logic circuit. The first logic circuit is controlled by an output signal of a flag circuit and selects one of the first input signal and the data stored in the register. A second input signal is supplied to a second logic circuit. The second logic circuit is controlled by an output signal of the flag circuit and selects one of supplying the second input signal to the register as a clock signal and supplying the second input signal to a peripheral circuit as an input signal. The flag circuit supplies the second input signal to the register as the clock signal when the first logic circuit selects the output signal of the register, and supplies the second input signal to the peripheral circuit as the input signal when the first logic circuit selects the first input signal.
