Correct answer

  • CAjustado al cuerpo, ni muy apretado ni flojo, y sin que esté retorcido.Close to the body, neither too tight nor loose, and not twisted.
Explanation

The seat belt must fit closely to the body, without slack and without being twisted: only then does it spread the forces of an impact over the strong parts of the body. If it is loose or twisted, it loses effectiveness and can cause injuries.
