Correct answer

  • CAjustado al cuerpo, ni muy apretado ni muy flojo, y bien abrochado.Fitted to your body, neither too tight nor too loose, and properly fastened.
Explanation

The seat belt must fit your body, with no slack or twists, but not too tight, and it must be properly fastened. Article 117.1 of the General Traffic Regulations requires you to wear it properly fastened; a loose belt holds you too late and badly in a crash.
