Explanation
When adjusting the driver’s seat, position your body approximately 10 to 12 inches back from the steering wheel. Maintaining this distance allows the airbag to deploy safely, hitting the driver in the chest in case of a collision. Sitting too close may lead to severe head or neck injuries from the airbag impact on the face.
