Correct answer
- CEl airbag y el cinturón de seguridad son sistemas de seguridad complementarios.The airbag and the seat belt are complementary safety systems.
The airbag and the seat belt are complementary safety systems because both are meant to protect the vehicle's occupants in an accident. The airbag is an extra measure on top of the seat belt: its function is to cushion the impact and reduce the risk of injury to the head and body. However, the airbag cannot fully replace the seat belt, because the seat belt is the main restraint system and helps keep the occupants in place during a crash. So it is important to use both the airbag and the seat belt for maximum protection in an accident.
