Correct answer

  • ANo, si puede impedir su apertura.No, if it may prevent the airbag from opening.
Explanation

It is not a good idea to place a GPS holder near an airbag, because it may obstruct the airbag when it opens in an accident. According to the General Traffic Regulations, devices that interfere with vehicle safety features, such as airbags, must be fitted so that they do not put the occupants at risk. Blocking the airbag can increase the risk of injury in a road accident. So the correct option is no, because it may obstruct the airbag when it opens.
