Should the steering wheel be adjusted upward toward the driver's face?

The correct answer is that the steering wheel should not be adjusted upward toward the driver's face. During the adjustment process, it's important to position the steering wheel so it's comfortable for the driver while maintaining a safe distance between the driver's body and the airbag. The steering wheel should ideally be positioned so that it is just above the driver's knees when seated properly, allowing for good visibility of the dashboard and making it easier to control the vehicle without obstruction.

Adjusting the steering wheel too close to the driver, especially up toward the face, can lead to injuries in the case of an airbag deployment. A mispositioned steering wheel can result in the airbag deploying directly into the driver's face, increasing the risk of serious injury. Proper steering wheel placement enhances safety and control, making it crucial to follow guidelines for adjustment.
