You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the air bags or lean against the door or center console.

Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still

maintaining control of the vehicle. NHTSA recommends that drivers

allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering
