Correct answer

  • ASí, es un sistema de seguridad activa.Yes, an active safety system.
Explanation

Yes. Lighting is an active safety feature, because it helps prevent accidents: it lets you see the road and be seen by others. Passive safety features, such as the seat belt or the airbag, act once the accident has already happened.
