Correct answer

  • BA unos 25 centímetros del volante.About 25 centimetres from the steering wheel.
Explanation

So that the front airbag does not hit the driver's face when it deploys, there should be about 25 centimetres between the chest and the centre of the steering wheel. Too close, and the impact of the airbag can cause injury; too far, and you lose control of the steering wheel.
