Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo, si puede obstaculizar su despliegue.No, if it may obstruct the airbag when it opens.
Explanation

The navigator holder must not be placed in the area where the airbag opens, because it may stop the airbag from opening properly or be thrown against the occupants. It must also not block the driver's view. Having the navigator switched off does not change this risk.
