Correct answer

  • BA unos 25 centímetros y nunca a menos de 10 centímetros.About 25 centimetres away, and never less than 10 centimetres.
Explanation

For the airbag to protect you without causing injuries, the driver should sit about 25 cm from the steering wheel and never less than 10 cm, because the airbag inflates with great force. Too close, it can injure you; too far, you cannot handle the steering wheel and the pedals properly.
