A cover panel (4) for a cabin (2) of a vehicle (1) and provided with a weakening (6) for the opening of an underlying airbag (5). The weakening (6) consists of a sequence of not-through incisions (7, 8) which are separated from each other, are arranged along a weakening line (9), are obtained from an internal surface (10) of the cover panel (4), and terminate at a non-zero distance from an external surface (11) of the cover panel (4). In some sections of the weakening line (9) there are first incisions (7) each having a first width (W1) while in other sections of the weakening line (9) there are second incisions (8) each having a second width (W2) greater than the first width (W1). The weakening line (9) has a plurality of portions (12-17) that connect to one another in at least one connection area, wherein the corresponding portions (12-17) of the weakening line (9) consist of the second incisions (8) only while, next to the connection area, the corresponding portions (12-17) of the weakening line (9) consist of the first incisions (7) only.
