Collision control system (40) for controlling deflection of an instrument cluster (30) in a vehicle during collision. Said collision control system (40) comprises a steering assembly (10) including a steering wheel (12) and a steering column (11), a cross car beam (20) comprising a first sliding surface (22), and an instrument panel assembly (35) including an instrument cluster (30) and a second sliding surface (32), which is arranged to abut and slide along said first sliding surface (22) during said collision. During collision said steering column (11) is configured to move forward in a controlled manner and said steering column assembly (10) is arranged to push said instrument cluster (30), such that said second sliding surface (32) of said instrument panel assembly (35) slides along the first surface (22) for controlled deflection of the instrument cluster (30).
