Question 6400
Passive safety systems...
- prevent accidents from occurring.
- must be used correctly because improper use can pose a risk.
- are very expensive and difficult to maintain.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: must be used correctly because improper use can pose a risk.
Passive safety reduces the consequences of a crash, but does not prevent it. For it to protect you, you must use its features properly. A loose seat belt or one positioned across your neck, a head restraint set too low, or an airbag used without a seat belt can cause injuries instead of preventing them.
