Is it safe to install a sat-nav mount in an airbag’s deployment area?

Correct answer

No, it may obstruct deployment or be propelled towards occupants.

No. The mount may obstruct deployment or be propelled towards occupants. Follow the vehicle manual and keep airbag panels and expansion areas clear. Secure the sat-nav without blocking your view of the road and programme it before moving off. Switching it off does not remove the mount’s physical hazard; its instructions do not authorise prohibited manoeuvres.
