Correct answer

  • BEn un lugar donde no obstruya la visibilidad y nunca cerca de un airbag.Where it does not block visibility, and never near an airbag.
Explanation

The navigation device must be placed where it does not reduce the driver's field of vision or freedom of movement, as required by Article 18.1 of the General Traffic Regulations. Nor should it be in an airbag's deployment area, because in a crash it would be thrown at the occupants.
