Correct answer

  • ASí, ambos sistemas son compatibles.Yes, the two systems are compatible.
Explanation

Yes. The seat belt and the airbag complement each other: the seat belt holds the occupant back and the airbag cushions the impact of the head and chest. The airbag is designed to work with the seat belt fastened, whether it is a front or a side airbag.
