Correct answer

  • BEl airbag evita los golpes dentro del vehículo.The airbag prevents blows inside the vehicle.
Explanation

The airbag inflates in thousandths of a second and acts as a cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel, the dashboard or the sides, preventing blows against the inside of the vehicle. Submarining is prevented by a correctly adjusted seat belt and seat, and whiplash by the head restraint.
