Correct answer

  • ANo, debe ser complementario a los cinturones de seguridadNo, it must be used together with the seat belts
Explanation

The airbag is a supplementary system to the seat belt; it does not replace it. Without a seat belt, the body moves towards the airbag while it is deploying and may suffer serious injuries. Seat belts are compulsory for all occupants.
