Answer:

Vehicles equipped with a driver’s side airbag, do not sit closer than 10 inches from the steering wheel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vehicles equipped with the driver's side airbag are no less than 10 inches from the steering wheel.

The two airbags that help to protect the driver and front passenger are usually installed respectively on the steering wheel and on the right side of the dashboard above the glove box. They have the function of preventing the impact of occupants with rigid parts of the cabin at the time of a collision. To identify them simply see the inscription "airbag" in the center of the steering and on the instrument panel next to the passenger.

For side airbags, the same inscription can be located in two places: either on labels on the sides of the front seat backrests or on the inside of the doors (but the latter setting is less common). These airbags protect occupants in side crashes, preventing injuries in contact with car doors.
