Correct answer

  • ANo, es un sistema de seguridad complementario al cinturón.No, it is a safety system that complements the seat belt.

The airbag is a passive safety device that is not compulsory, unlike the seat belt, which is. In a frontal collision, if we do not wear the seat belt, even if the car has an airbag, we can suffer very serious injuries.
