Explanation
Drivers should maintain at least 10 inches between their chest and the airbag cover to reduce the risk of injury from airbag deployment. Sitting too close can result in serious injuries due to the force of the airbag when it inflates. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends keeping a distance of 10 to 12 inches between the center of the breastbone and the center of the steering wheel for optimal safety.
