Correct answer
- CReforzar la eficacia del cinturón de seguridad.To make the seat belt more effective.
Explanation
The main function of the airbag, as a passive safety feature, is to make the seat belt more effective: it stops the occupants from hitting parts of the vehicle and slows their bodies down when the seat belt can no longer hold them. The airbag is never used on its own; it is always a complement to the seat belt.
