Correct answer

  • ANo, porque los airbags complementan el uso del cinturón.No, because airbags complement the use of the seat belt.
Explanation

No. The airbag complements the seat belt and does not replace it: without a seat belt, the occupant is thrown against the airbag while it is inflating and can be seriously injured, or thrown out of the vehicle. The seat belt is compulsory both in and outside built-up areas.
