will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect
you - hazard!

avoid the steering wheel altering its position unintentionally when
driving - risk of accident!

will reduce the protection offered by the driver airbag in the event
of an accident. Check that the steering wheel is aligned to the
chest.
