Explanation
Air bags can deploy with a great amount of force, and if the driver is too close, the air bag can cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of air bag injury, it is important for drivers to maintain a safe distance from the air bag cover. The recommended distance is at least 10 inches from the center of the steering wheel to the driver's breastbone.
