Correct answer

  • AOcupar preferiblemente los asientos traserosPreferably sit in the rear seats
Explanation

Short people sit very close to the steering wheel and the dashboard, right where the front airbag deploys, which increases the risk of injury from the airbag itself. So it is better for them to sit in the rear seats.
