Correct answer

  • CCuidar de que el tubo de escape y el silenciador del vehículo estén siempre en buen estado.Make sure the vehicle's exhaust pipe and silencer are always in good condition.
Explanation

Noise pollution is becoming a major problem in cities. That is why, in built-up areas, you should not sound the horn, and the exhaust pipe and silencer must be in perfect condition so that they make as little noise as possible. Driving with a so-called 'open exhaust' is completely prohibited, because it creates a lot of noise pollution.
