Which safety systems can lose effectiveness if the seat belt is not fastened?

Correct answer

Airbags and head restraints.

Airbags and head restraints complement the seat belt and can lose effectiveness if it is unfastened. The belt restrains the occupant and limits movement during a collision. Relying on an airbag does not replace wearing a belt; this does not mean an airbag can only activate with the belt fastened. Adjust the seat, belt, and head restraint height and distance correctly.
