Question 7926
Is it advisable to place the mount for a GPS navigation device near where an airbag is installed?
- Yes, if that way the driver can see the screen better.
- No, if it can obstruct its deployment.
- Only if the GPS navigation device is turned off.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, if it can obstruct its deployment.
No. If the mount obstructs the airbag's deployment, the device can be thrown against the occupants in a crash and the airbag cannot open properly, whether the navigation device is on or off. In the image, the navigation device is on the passenger airbag cover, exactly where it should not be.
