If your vehicle is fitted with an airbag, is it compulsory to wear the seatbelt fastened?
A)No.
B)Only outside built-up areas.
C)Yes.Correct
The airbag is a very safe passive safety system but, to avoid adverse effects, we must bear the following in mind:
- It is a complement to the seatbelt, so they must always be used together.
- It is advisable for the airbag to be approximately 25 cm away from the body and never less than 10 cm.
- We should avoid placing objects near the airbag or resting legs on the dashboard. When the airbag deploys, very serious injuries could occur.
- When using a rearward-facing child restraint device in a seat fitted with an airbag, it must be deactivated.
