10 inches!!
According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, for safety in the event of an accident, you should adjust the seat of your vehicle so that your chest is 10-12 inches away from your airbag and steering wheel.
There should be a minimum of 10 inches.
10 inches
There should be at least 10-12 inches of space between you and the steering wheel to ensure safe driving and prevent injury from the airbag deploying in case of an accident. Make sure to adjust your seat position and steering wheel height for optimal comfort and control.
You will first need to find a level surface and a vertical wall or garage door then park the vehicle close to that wall and mark where the low-beams' horizontal centerlines meet. Then you should move the vehicle 25 feet backwards and then adjust the headlight screws so that the low beams' show 2 inches below where you marked.

Your question is unclear. The adjusting mechanism release and lock is located on the underside of the left side of the steering column about 8-10 inches down the column from the direction signal stalk. Loosen to adjust - tighten to lock. If the mechanism is broken you must take it to a dealer to have it repaired or replaced. This is NOT a do-it-yourself project!
