Correct answer
With about 25 cm or more between the breastbone and airbag, while comfortably operating the controls.
Keep approximately 25 cm or more between the breastbone and the centre of the steering-wheel airbag cover, while still comfortably reaching and operating the controls, following the vehicle manual. NHTSA recommends at least 10 inches, approximately 25 cm; the DGT describes about 25 cm as ideal. This is not measured from the seat and cannot guarantee freedom from injury. Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt as well: the airbag complements rather than replaces it.
